People

Recorded as Moses’ brother and spokesman, husband of Elisheba and father of Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. Leviticus 8:12 says Moses poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to sanctify him; in chapter 9, on the eighth day, Aaron draws near to the altar, offers his own sin offering and burnt offering and the offering of the people, and lifts up his hands toward the people and blesses them; and at 10:1–3, when Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu have died before the LORD and Moses tells him what the LORD spoke of, Aaron holds his peace. Leviticus 16:1–2 says that after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before the LORD, and died, the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die”; 16:3–25 give what Aaron shall offer and do; and 16:34 ends, “It was done as the LORD commanded Moses”, where the Korean Revised Version says that Aaron did as the LORD commanded Moses. In Numbers 16:46–48 he runs with his censer into the middle of the assembly as Moses said, makes atonement for the people and stands between the dead and the living, and the plague is stayed. In Numbers 20:22–29, because he and Moses rebelled against the LORD’s word at the waters of Meribah, he is not to enter the land given to the children of Israel: on Mount Hor Moses strips him of his garments and puts them on Eleazar his son, Aaron dies on the top of the mountain, and all the congregation weeps for him thirty days. Numbers 33:38–39 says he went up Mount Hor at the LORD’s command and died there on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after the children of Israel came out of Egypt, a hundred and twenty-three years old. Deuteronomy 10:6 says that the children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah, and that there Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

Named at Nehemiah 11:15–17 among the Levites: “and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.” The Korean Revised Version names the generations from Jeduthun down (여두둔의 증손 갈랄의 손자 삼무아의 아들 압다, Abda the son of Shammua, the grandson of Galal, the great-grandson of Jeduthun). 11:18 goes on, “All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty-four.”

2 Samuel

Named at 1 Samuel 22:20: “One of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.” At 22:21–23 Abiathar tells David that Saul has slain the LORD’s priests, and David says to him, “Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. You will be safe with me.” At 23:6 Abiathar the son of Ahimelech flees to David to Keilah and comes down with an ephod in his hand, and at 23:9 David says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.” 2 Samuel 15:24 says that Zadok came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and that Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city; 15:29 that Zadok and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again, and stayed there; and 15:35 gives David’s words to Hushai, “Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.” 1 Kings 1:7 says that Joab the son of Zeruiah and Abiathar the priest followed Adonijah and helped him; and 2:26–27 that the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord GOD’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted”, and that Solomon thrust Abiathar out from being priest to the LORD, “that he might fulfill the LORD’s word which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.” Mark 2:26 names him as the high priest at the time when David entered into God’s house and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests; he is named in Jesus’ answer to the Pharisees about the Sabbath and is not present in that scene.

Named at 1 Samuel 25:3 as Nabal’s wife: “This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face.” At 25:14 one of the young men tells her, “Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he insulted them.” At 25:18–20 she hurries and takes two hundred loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five seahs of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and lays them on donkeys; she doesn’t tell her husband, Nabal, and as she comes down hidden by the mountain she meets David and his men. At 25:23–31 she falls before David on her face and says, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame!”, and says, “For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house”; at 25:32–35 David says, “Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you”, and receives from her hand that which she had brought him. At 25:36–37 she tells Nabal nothing until the morning light, and in the morning tells him these things. At 25:39–42 David sends to take her to himself as wife, and she goes after the messengers of David with her five maids, and becomes his wife.

All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.” At 14:17–18 Jeroboam’s wife comes to Tirzah; as she comes to the threshold of the house, the child dies, and all Israel buries him and mourns for him.

His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.” The Korean Revised Version does not say at 8:31 whose concubine she was or who named him. Judges 9:1–6 says that Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to his father’s house at Ophrah and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone, but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself, and that all the men of Shechem, with all the house of Millo, made Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem; at 9:18 Jotham, speaking of “my father’s house”, calls him “Abimelech, the son of his female servant”; 9:22–23 says that Abimelech was prince over Israel three years, and that God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; 9:39–45 says that Gaal fought with Abimelech, that Abimelech chased him and Gaal fled before him, and that Abimelech took the city, beat it down and sowed it with salt; 9:46–49 says that all the people each cut down his bough, followed Abimelech, put them at the base of the stronghold that the men of the tower of Shechem had entered, and set the stronghold on fire; and 9:50–56 says that Abimelech went to Thebez and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire, that a certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and broke his skull, that Abimelech said to the young man, his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me,” that when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they each departed to his place, and that God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 16:8: “Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, ‘The LORD has not chosen this one, either.’” The Korean Revised Version names Samuel as the one who says it. 17:12–13 name him among the three oldest sons of Jesse, who went after Saul to the battle: “Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.”

Named at Numbers 16:1 as a son of Eliab. With Korah, Dathan and On he rises up against Moses (16:1–2); when Moses sends for them, he and Dathan refuse to come up (16:12–14), and at 16:27–33 they stand at the doors of their tents with their wives and little ones, the ground splits apart, and they go down alive into Sheol with their households. Numbers 26:9–10 recalls that Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, called by the congregation, rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah when they rebelled against the LORD, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah.

Let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm”, and that they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king; it says, “The young lady was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and served him; but the king didn’t know her intimately.” 1:15 says, “The king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.” At 2:13–17 Adonijah the son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon and says, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.” At 2:19–22 Bathsheba goes to King Solomon and says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife”, and King Solomon answers his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah?”

1 Kings

Named at 1 Samuel 26:6 as “Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab”: when David says to him and to Ahimelech the Hittite, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?”, Abishai says, “I will go down with you.” At 26:7 David and Abishai come to the people by night; at 26:8 Abishai says to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time,” and at 26:9 David says to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him.” The Korean Revised Version calls him 요압의 아우, Joab’s younger brother, and puts 스루야의 아들 (the son of Zeruiah) before Joab. 2 Samuel 2:18 says, “The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel”, and 2:24 says, “But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.” 2 Samuel 10:10–14 says that Joab committed the rest of the people into the hand of Abishai his brother, and put them in array against the children of Ammon, and said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you”; and that when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. 2 Samuel 16:9–10 says that Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head”, and that the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah?”; 18:2 that David sent a third part of the people out under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother; and 18:5 that the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” 2 Samuel 19:21–22 says that Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”, and that David said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today?”; and 20:6–10 that David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight”, and that Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. 2 Samuel 21:15–17 says that David grew faint in the war with the Philistines, and that when Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, thought he would kill David, Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. 2 Samuel 23:18–19 names Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, chief of the three: he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three; he was made their captain, but he wasn’t included as one of the three (the Korean Revised Version reads 첫 삼인, the first three). 1 Chronicles 18:12 says, “Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.”

1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

The Korean Revised Version gives the same line by generations, and calls Ezra 아비수아의 십 삼대손이요, the descendant of Abishua in the thirteenth generation.

Named at 1 Samuel 14:50 as the captain of Saul’s army: “The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.” 14:51 says, “Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.” Neither edition makes plain whether “Saul’s uncle” is Ner or Abner. At 1 Samuel 26:5 David sees the place “where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army”, and 26:7 says that Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, and Abner and the people lay around him; at 26:14–16 David cries, “Don’t you answer, Abner?”, Abner answers, “Who are you who calls to the king?”, and David says to him, “Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king?” and “Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.” 2 Samuel 2:8–9 says that Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim, and made him king; at 2:12–17 Abner and the servants of Ishbosheth go out from Mahanaim to Gibeon, the battle is very severe that day, and Abner is beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants; at 2:19–23, when Asahel pursues Abner, Abner says to him, “Turn away from following me”, but Asahel refuses to turn away, and Abner with the back end of the spear strikes him in the body; and at 2:26–29 Abner calls to Joab, “Shall the sword devour forever?”, and Abner and his men go all that night through the Arabah and come to Mahanaim. 2 Samuel 3:6–11 says that Abner made himself strong in Saul’s house and was very angry about Ishbosheth’s words over Rizpah, Saul’s concubine; 3:12–21 that he sent messengers to David, saying, “Make your alliance with me”, and came to David to Hebron; 3:27 that Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate and struck him there in the body, so that he died; and 3:31–34 that King David followed the bier, they buried Abner in Hebron, and the king lamented for him.

But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother. Don’t take this thing to heart”, that Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house, and that Absalom hated Amnon and spoke to him neither good nor bad; 13:23–29 says that after two full years Absalom had sheep shearers in Baal Hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and invited all the king’s sons, that he commanded his servants, “when I tell you, ‘Strike Amnon,’ then kill him”, and that the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded; and 13:37–38 says that Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur, and was in Geshur three years. 2 Samuel 14:21–24 says that Joab went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem, and that Absalom returned to his own house, and didn’t see the king’s face; 14:27 that three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar; 14:33 that the king kissed Absalom; and 15:1–12 that Absalom stood beside the way of the gate and stole the hearts of the men of Israel, went to Hebron, and sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’” 2 Samuel 16:15–22 says that Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and that Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel; 17:14 that Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; 18:9–15 that his head caught hold of the oak, and he was hanging between the sky and earth, that Joab took three darts in his hand and thrust them through Absalom’s heart while he was still alive in the middle of the oak, and that ten young men who bore Joab’s armor surrounded and struck Absalom, and killed him; and 18:17–18 that they cast Absalom into a great pit in the forest and raised over him a very great heap of stones, and that the pillar Absalom had reared up for himself in his lifetime is called Absalom’s monument, to this day.

2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

Joshua 7:1 names him “Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah”: the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things, for he took some of the devoted things, and the LORD’s anger burned against the children of Israel. At 7:16–18 Joshua brings Israel near by their tribes, and Achan is selected. At 7:19–21 he answers Joshua that when he saw among the plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, he coveted them and took them, and that they are hidden in the ground in the middle of his tent. At 7:24–26 Joshua, and all Israel with him, take Achan the son of Zerah, with all that he had, to the valley of Achor, where all Israel stones Achan with stones and raises over him a great heap of stones.

The Korean Revised Version reads 가드 왕 마아가의 아들 아기스, where 가드 왕 (king of Gath) stands before Maacah and can be read as Maacah’s title; WEB makes Achish the king.

At 21:10–15 David flees for fear of Saul and goes to Achish the king of Gath; the servants of Achish say to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land?”, and David is very afraid of Achish the king of Gath and pretends to be insane; Achish says to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?” 1 Samuel 27:1–2 says that David passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, “to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath”, and 27:3 that David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; at 27:5–6 David asks for a place in one of the cities in the country, and Achish gives him Ziklag that day; and at 27:9–12 David returns and comes to Achish, Achish says, “Against whom have you made a raid today?”, David says, “Against the South of Judah, against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites”, and Achish believes David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.” 1 Samuel 28:1–2 has Achish say to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your men,” and “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever”; at 29:3–10 the princes of the Philistines are angry, and say to Achish, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him,” and Achish calls David and says to him, “Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.”

Named at Joshua 15:16–17 as Caleb’s daughter. Caleb says, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife”; Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, takes it, and Caleb gives him Achsah as wife. At 15:18–19, when she comes, she has him ask her father for a field; she gets off her donkey, Caleb says, “What do you want?”, and she says, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gives her the upper springs and the lower springs. The Korean Revised Version names her at 15:18, where WEB says “she”.

Named at 1 Kings 16:28 as the son of Omri: “So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.” 16:29 says, “In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.” At 16:30–32 he does that which was evil in the LORD’s sight above all that were before him; he takes as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and goes and serves Baal and worships him, and raises up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. At 17:1 Elijah the Tishbite says to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” At 18:3–6 Ahab calls Obadiah, who was over the household, and they divide the land between them. At 18:16–18 Ahab goes to meet Elijah, and when he sees Elijah he says to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?”, and Elijah answers, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the LORD’s commandments and you have followed the Baals”; at 18:20 Ahab gathers the prophets together to Mount Carmel, and 18:45 says, “Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.” The Korean Revised Version has him ride in a chariot there (아합이 마차를 타고). 1 Kings 19:1 says that Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword; 20:1–21 that Ben Hadad the king of Syria besieged Samaria and sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, that a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD’”, that the young men of the princes of the provinces and the army which followed them went out of the city and each killed his man, and that the king of Israel went out and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter; 20:26–30 that when Ben Hadad went up to Aphek, a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day; 20:31–34 that Ben Hadad said, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore”, and Ahab made a covenant with him and let him go; and 20:35–43 that a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to the king of Israel, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people’”, and that the king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria. 1 Kings 21:1–4 says that Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house”, and came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; 21:15–16 that when Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money”, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it; 21:20 that Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?”; 21:27–29 that when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body and fasted, and the LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “See how Ahab humbles himself before me?”; 22:3–9 that the king of Israel said, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours”, gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said of Micaiah the son of Imlah, “I hate him”; 22:20 that in Micaiah’s words the LORD said, “Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?”; 22:29–38 that the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle, that a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor, that the king died at evening and they buried the king in Samaria, and that they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria and the dogs licked up his blood; and 22:39–40 names the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, and says that Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

At 1:2–4 the King Ahasuerus sits on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Susa the palace, and in the third year of his reign makes a feast for all his princes and his servants; at 1:10–22 the queen Vashti refuses to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs, and the king does according to the word of Memucan and sends letters into all the king’s provinces. At 2:16–17 Esther is taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign, and the king sets the royal crown on her head and makes her queen instead of Vashti; at 3:1 King Ahasuerus promotes Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite; and at 3:10–12 the king gives his ring to Haman, and all that Haman commanded is written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king’s ring. Esther 5:1–8 says that the king held out to Esther the queen, standing in the court, the golden scepter that was in his hand, told her, “It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom,” and came with Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared; 6:1–11, that on the night the king couldn’t sleep he had the book of records of the chronicles read, asked, “What honor and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?”, and said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate”; 7:1–10, that King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?”, and that when Harbonah told of the gallows standing at Haman’s house, the king said, “Hang him on it!”; 8:1–14, that King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman to Esther the queen and his ring, which he had taken from Haman, to Mordecai, that he told Esther the queen and Mordecai the Jew, “Write also to the Jews as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring,” and that what Mordecai commanded was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king’s ring; 9:11–14, that the king asked Esther the queen her petition and commanded this to be done, and a decree was given out in Susa; and 10:1, “King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.”

At 16:5–9 Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel come up to Jerusalem and besiege Ahaz, but cannot overcome him, and Ahaz sends messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son”, and takes the silver and gold that was found in the LORD’s house, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sends it for a present to the king of Assyria. At 16:10–16 King Ahaz goes to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser, sees the altar that was at Damascus, and sends to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build it, and Urijah the priest makes it according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus; and 16:20 says, “Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.” 2 Chronicles 28:1–27 says Ahaz makes Baal images and burns his children, seeks the Assyrian king’s help without benefit after attacks by Syria and Israel, shuts the temple doors, and is buried outside the kings’ tombs. Isaiah 7:10–12 says that the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, “Ask a sign of the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above,” and that Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt the LORD.” Matthew 1:9 records in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17, “Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah.”

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel. He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.” 8:28 does not name the one who went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead (WEB “He”, the Korean Revised Version 저가), and 8:29 says, “Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.” The Korean Revised Version writes 여호람, Jehoram, at 8:24, where WEB writes Joram, and reads 이스라엘 왕 오므리의 손녀, the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel, at 8:26. 2 Kings 9:16 says, “Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.” At 9:21 Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah go out, each in his chariot, to meet Jehu, and at 9:23 Joram flees and says to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!” At 9:27–28, when Ahaziah the king of Judah sees this, he flees by the way of the garden house; Jehu follows after him, and says, “Strike him also in the chariot!”; and the text says, “They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there. His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.” 9:29 says, “In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.” At 10:12–14 Jehu meets with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah at the shearing house of the shepherds; they say, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah”, and they are taken alive and killed at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. 2 Chronicles 22:1–11: Ahaziah son of Jehoram follows the counsel of his mother Athaliah and Ahab’s house. He visits Joram king of Israel and is killed during Jehu’s judgment of Ahab’s house. Jehoshabeath hides and saves his son Joash.

I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.” At 11:32 the Korean Revised Version reads 한 지파를 솔로몬에게 주리니 (one tribe to Solomon), where WEB reads “but he shall have one tribe”. 1 Kings 14:2–4 says that Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people”, that she came to Ahijah’s house, and, “Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set by reason of his age”; 14:5 that the LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such”; 14:6–16 that Ahijah said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news”, gave her the LORD’s word for Jeroboam, and said, “When your feet enter into the city, the child will die”; and 14:18 that all Israel buried the child and mourned for him, “according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.” 2 Chronicles 10:15 says Rehoboam’s refusal to listen brought about the fulfillment of the LORD’s word spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam.

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 22:12 as “Ahikam the son of Shaphan”. At 22:12–13 the king commands Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, “Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found”, and 22:14 says, “So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess”. Jeremiah 26:24 says, “But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.”

2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah

Named at 1 Kings 4:12 as the father of Baana: “Baana the son of Ahilud”. This collection keeps him apart from the Ahilud of 4:3, “Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder”, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1 Kings

Named at 2 Samuel 8:16 as the father of Jehoshaphat. 8:15–16 say, “David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people. Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder”.

The name stands among those that 4:7–19 gives as the twelve officers Solomon had over all Israel. The verse does not name his father. This collection keeps him apart from the Ahimaaz of 2 Samuel 18:19, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

Named at 2 Samuel 15:27, where the king says to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.” At 15:35–36 David says to Hushai, “Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.” 2 Samuel 17:17–21 says that Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En Rogel, went down into the well in the court of a man in Bahurim, and came up out of the well and told King David; and 18:19–29 that Ahimaaz the son of Zadok ran by the way of the Plain and outran the Cushite, said to the king, “All is well”, and, when the king said, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?”, answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I don’t know what it was.”

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 21:1 as the priest to whom David comes at Nob. At 21:1–9 Ahimelech comes to meet David trembling, gives him holy bread, and tells him that the sword of Goliath the Philistine is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. At 22:9–10 Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answers and says, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. He inquired of the LORD for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.” At 22:11–18 the king sends to call him and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; Ahimelech answers, “Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me!”; the king says, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house”; and Doeg the Edomite attacks the priests and kills on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod. 22:20 and 23:6 name Abiathar as his son.

1 Kings

Named at 2 Samuel 15:12 as “Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor”, for whom Absalom sends “from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices.” At 15:31 someone tells David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David says, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.” 2 Samuel 16:20–23 says that when Absalom said, “Give your counsel what we shall do”, Ahithophel said, “Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house”, and that the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the inner sanctuary of God; 17:1–3 that he said to Absalom, “Let me now choose twelve thousand men”; 17:14 that the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil on Absalom; and 17:23 that when he saw that his counsel was not followed, he went home to his city, set his house in order, and hanged himself, and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

In the WEB “the son of Phinehas” can be read with Ahitub or with Ichabod; the Korean Revised Version makes Ahijah 비느하스의 손자 (Phinehas’ grandson) and 엘리의 증손 (Eli’s great-grandson).

1 Samuel

Named at 1 Samuel 22:9, in the words of Doeg the Edomite, as the father of Ahimelech: “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.” At 22:11–12 the king sends to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob, and Saul says, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub”; 22:20 says, “One of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.” This collection keeps him apart from the Ahitub of 14:3 and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1 Chronicles, Nehemiah

Named at 2 Samuel 8:17 as the father of Zadok: “Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests”. This collection keeps him apart from the Ahitub of 1 Samuel 14:3 and the Ahitub of 22:9–20, and does not decide whether any two of the three are the same man.

Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.” The Korean Revised Version says that Ithra lay with Abigail and begot him (이드라가 나하스의 딸 아비갈과 동침하여 저를 낳았으며). 2 Samuel 19:11–13 gives, among the words King David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you aren’t captain of the army before me continually instead of Joab’”; 20:4–5 says that the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present”, and that Amasa stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him; and 20:8–12 that at the great stone which is in Gibeon Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?”, and took Amasa by the beard with his right hand, that Amasa, who took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand, was struck with it in the body and died, and that Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway.

Named at Amos 7:10 as “Amaziah the priest of Bethel”, who sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.” At 7:12–13 he says to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there, but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!” 7:14–17 gives Amos’s answer to him, in which 7:16–17 says, “Now therefore listen to the LORD’s word … Therefore the LORD says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean’”.

Amos

He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem”; 14:5–6 that as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father, but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, “according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses”; and 14:7, “He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.” At 14:8–14 Amaziah sends messengers to Jehoash king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face”; Jehoash the king of Israel sends to Amaziah king of Judah, but Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash king of Israel takes Amaziah king of Judah at Beth Shemesh and breaks down the wall of Jerusalem. 14:17 says that Amaziah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years, and 14:19–20, “They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.” The Korean Revised Version names Amaziah at 14:7 (아마샤가), where WEB says “He”, and at 14:19 has the conspirators send men after him to Lachish and have him killed there (사람을 라기스로 따라 보내어 저를 거기서 죽이게 하고).

His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did”, and 21:22 that he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD. 21:23–26 says that the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house; that the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and made Josiah his son king in his place; and that Amon was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza (21:26, where WEB says “He” and the Korean Revised Version names Amon, 아몬이). 2 Chronicles 33:21–25 says Amon begins to reign at twenty-two for two years, serves idols without humbling himself, and is killed in his house by conspiring servants.

At 5:2–5 he keeps back part of the price and brings a certain part and lays it at the apostles’ feet; Peter says, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?”, and Ananias, hearing these words, falls down and dies. At 5:6 the young men wrap him up, carry him out and bury him.

Acts

Named at Acts 9:10 as a certain disciple at Damascus. The Lord says to him in a vision, “Ananias!” and tells him to go to the street which is called Straight and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus; Ananias answers, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem,” but the Lord says to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.” At 9:17 Ananias departs, enters into the house and, laying his hands on Saul, says, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Where WEB says “the Lord” at 9:17, the Korean Revised Version names him: 주 곧 네가 오는 길에서 나타나시던 예수 (the Lord, that is, Jesus, who appeared to you on the road). Acts 22:12–16 tells how “one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus, came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’”, and how he said, “The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”

Acts

Named at Acts 23:2 as the high priest, Ananias. At 23:2–5 he commands those who stand by to strike Paul on the mouth, and Paul says, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall!”; when those who stand by ask, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”, Paul says, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest.” At 24:1, after five days, the high priest, Ananias, comes down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus, and they inform the governor against Paul.

Acts

Named at Judges 3:31 as the father of Shamgar: “Shamgar the son of Anath”. At 5:6 the song too speaks of “the days of Shamgar the son of Anath”.

Judges

Matthew 4:18 records him as Simon Peter’s brother, casting a net with him. Mark 1:29 tells how, coming out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John, and 3:18 names him among the twelve. Mark 13:3 has him ask Jesus privately, with Peter, James and John, as Jesus sits on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple. John 1:35–42 says that one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, and that he first found his own brother, Simon, said to him, “We have found the Messiah!”, and brought him to Jesus; 1:44 calls Bethsaida the city of Andrew and Peter. At John 6:8–9 one of Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, says to Jesus, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?” John 12:20–22 has certain Greeks who went up to worship at the feast ask Philip, “Sir, we want to see Jesus”; Philip comes and tells Andrew, and in turn Andrew comes with Philip, and they tell Jesus. Acts 1:12–14 says that Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, having returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, went up into the upper room where they were staying, and that all these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with Jesus’ brothers.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

Person in Genesis 14:13–17: Aner.

Genesis

Named at Luke 2:36 as a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. At 2:36–37 she is of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, and has been a widow for about eighty-four years, and she does not depart from the temple, worshiping with fastings and petitions night and day; at 2:38, coming up at that very hour, she gives thanks to the Lord and speaks of him to all those who are looking for redemption in Jerusalem (the Korean Revised Version says 이 아기, this child).

Luke

Named at Luke 3:2 with Caiaphas as high priest: the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas. John 18:12–13 says that the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus, bound him and led him to Annas first, for Annas was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year; at 18:24 Annas sends Jesus bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. Acts 4:5–7 says that in the morning the rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem, and “Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest”; when they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

1 Samuel

Named at Acts 18:24, “a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man,” who came to Ephesus and was mighty in the Scriptures; at 18:25 he had been instructed in the way of the Lord and spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John; at 18:26, when he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, Priscilla and Aquila took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately; and at 18:27–28, when he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples to receive him, and when he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace, for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. Acts 19:1 says that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus. 1 Corinthians 1:12 and 3:4 give the saying “I follow Apollos” among those the letter is written to; 3:5–6 say, “Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him? I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.”; 3:22 names “Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas”; and 4:6 says, “these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes”.

Romans 16:3–5 says, “Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles. Greet the assembly that is in their house.”

Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Timothy

Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king”; but the king says to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price”, and David buys the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

2 Samuel

The Korean Revised Version names him at Joshua 14:15: after saying that the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, it says that Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. WEB names him only in the name Kiriath Arba; it says, “Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim.” Joshua 15:13 in the Korean Revised Version says of Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), given to Caleb as a portion, that Arba was the father of Anak; WEB names Arba only in Kiriath Arba, “named after the father of Anak”.

At 2:24 Daniel goes in to Arioch, “whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon”, and says to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.” At 2:25 Arioch brings in Daniel before the king in haste, and says, “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.” The Korean Revised Version reads 왕의 시위대 장관 아리옥 (Arioch the captain of the king’s guard) at 2:14 and 왕의 장관 아리옥 (Arioch the king’s captain) at 2:15.

Colossians 4:10–11 say, “Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, ‘if he comes to you, receive him’), and Jesus who is called Justus.

Named at Ezra 4:7: “In the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia”. 4:8–10 tells of the letter that Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king; 4:11–16 gives the copy of a letter to King Artaxerxes, and these verses do not name its senders; 4:17–22 gives the answer the king sent to Rehum, Shimshai, and their companions, and these verses do not name the king; and 4:23 says, “Then when the copy of King Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force of arms.” 6:14 says that the elders of the Jews built and finished the house “according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia”, where the Korean Revised Version reads 바사 왕 (king of Persia) before the three names. Ezra 7:1 says, “Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia”, and 7:7 that some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, went up to Jerusalem “in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king”. 7:11 says, “Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe”, and the letter opens, “Artaxerxes, king of kings, To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven” (7:12, where the Korean Revised Version reads 하늘의 하나님의 율법에 완전한 학사, the scribe perfect in the law of the God of heaven); at 7:21 it reads, “I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River”, and at 7:25 it turns again to Ezra, “You, Ezra”. The Korean Revised Version closes the letter at the end of 7:26 (하였더라), where WEB marks no end. 7:27, in the blessing of the speaker (“I”), speaks of the king: “who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem”; and 8:1 says, “Now these are the heads of their fathers’ households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king”. Nehemiah 2:1 says, “In the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, I picked up the wine, and gave it to the king.” At 2:2–8 the king asks the speaker (“I”) why his face is sad; the speaker asks the king to send him to Judah, to the city of his fathers’ tombs, that he may build it, and WEB sets beside the king’s next words, in parentheses, “the queen was also sitting by him”; it pleases the king to send the speaker, who asks for letters to the governors beyond the River and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest; and the text says, “The king granted my requests, because of the good hand of my God on me.” The Korean Revised Version gives the queen a line of the text’s own (그 때에 왕후도 왕의 곁에 앉았더라, at that time the queen also sat beside the king).

He reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.” 15:11–15 says, “Asa did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, as David his father did”, that he put away the sodomites out of the land and removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah, and that the high places were not taken away, “Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the LORD all his days.” At 15:16–22 there is war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days; Asa sends the silver and gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house “to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus”; Ben Hadad sends the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and when Baasha hears of it and stops building Ramah, King Asa makes a proclamation to all Judah, and they carry away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, and King Asa uses it to build Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 15:23 says, “But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet”, and at 15:24 Asa sleeps with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son reigns in his place.

Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.” At 2:19–23 Asahel pursues Abner and doesn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following him; Abner says to him, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”, but Asahel refuses to turn away, and Abner with the back end of the spear strikes him in the body, so that the spear comes out behind him, and he falls down there and dies in the same place. At 2:30, when Joab has gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel are missing, and at 2:32 Asahel is taken up and buried in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. 1 Chronicles 27:7 says, “The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him.

In the Korean Revised Version the words 왕의 명령을 좇아 신령한 노래를 하며 are said of the sons of Asaph (이 아삽의 아들들이 아삽의 수하에 속하여 왕의 명령을 좇아 신령한 노래를 하며), where WEB says “Asaph, who prophesied at the order of the king”.

At 1:7 “The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.” At 1:8–10 Daniel requests of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself, God makes Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs, and the prince of the eunuchs says to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king”. 1:11 speaks of the steward “whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah”, and at 1:18 the prince of the eunuchs brings them in before Nebuchadnezzar. The Korean Revised Version gives the title 환관장 (the chief of the eunuchs) with his name at 1:3 and without it at 1:7–18, where WEB reads “the master of his eunuchs” at 1:3 and “the prince of the eunuchs” at 1:7–18.

At 11:13–14 Athaliah hears the noise of the guard and of the people, comes to the people into the LORD’s house, looks, tears her clothes and cries, “Treason! Treason!” 11:16 says that she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and was slain there, and 11:20, “They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.” 2 Chronicles 22:2–24:7: Athaliah, Ahaziah’s mother, counsels him in evil, destroys the royal offspring after his death, and rules six years.

At 1:11–13 Daniel says to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days”. 1:17 says, “Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom”; at 1:19–20, when the king talked with them, among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and the king found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm. At 2:17–18 Daniel makes the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; and 2:49 says, “Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon”, where the Korean Revised Version names the king (왕이).

These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up”; 3:16–18 says that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up”; 3:19–23, that Nebuchadnezzar commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind them and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace, that they were bound and cast into the middle of the furnace, and, “These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace”; 3:26–27, that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire, and that the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies; and 3:30, “Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.”

He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.” At 15:3–5 he does that which is right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done, though the high places are not taken away; and “The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.” 15:7 says, “Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.” 15:8, 15:17, 15:23 and 15:27 give the years of Azariah king of Judah for the reigns of Zechariah, Menahem, Pekahiah and Pekah over Israel.

At 13:9–11 Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastens his eyes on Elymas and says, “Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!”, and immediately a mist and darkness fall on Elymas, and he goes around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

At 4:14–16 Barak goes down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him; the LORD confuses Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak, and Barak pursues the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles, and all the army of Sisera falls by the edge of the sword. At 4:22, as Barak pursues Sisera, Jael comes out to meet him, and Barak comes to her and finds Sisera lying dead. At 5:1 Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sing on that day.

Judges, Hebrews

Named at Acts 4:36: “Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race.” At 4:37, having a field, he sells it and brings the money and lays it at the apostles’ feet. The Korean Revised Version calls him 요셉 and gives Barnabas as 권위자 when interpreted. Acts 9:26–27 says that when Saul had come to Jerusalem and tried to join himself to the disciples, they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple; but Barnabas took Saul and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how at Damascus Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 11:22–26 says that the assembly in Jerusalem sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch, and when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, he was glad and exhorted them all there that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord, for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and that Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul and, when he had found him, brought him to Antioch; at 11:30 and 12:25 the disciples send relief to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul, and Barnabas and Saul return to Jerusalem when they have fulfilled their service, taking with them John who was called Mark; 13:1–3 names Barnabas among the prophets and teachers in the assembly at Antioch, where the Holy Spirit says, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me”; at 13:46–50 Paul and Barnabas say, “behold, we turn to the Gentiles,” and the Jews stir up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and throw them out of their borders; at 14:12–14 the multitude at Lystra call Barnabas “Jupiter”, and the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, tear their clothes and spring into the multitude; and at 14:20 Paul goes out with Barnabas to Derbe on the next day. At Acts 15:1–4 Paul and Barnabas have no small discord and discussion with some men who came down from Judea, and Paul, Barnabas, and some others are appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders; at 15:12 the multitude listens to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them; the letter of 15:25–26 calls them “our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”; at 15:35 Paul and Barnabas stay in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord; and at 15:36–39 Barnabas plans to take John, who was called Mark, with them also, but Paul doesn’t think that it is a good idea; the contention grows so sharp that they separate from each other, and Barnabas takes Mark with him and sails away to Cyprus. Galatians 2:1 says that after fourteen years the writer (“I”) went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also; 2:9 that James and Cephas and John, reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and the writer the right hand of fellowship; and 2:11–13 that when Peter came to Antioch and drew back and separated himself, “the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.”

Neither edition names the Shilonite.

Nehemiah

Named at Jeremiah 32:12 as “Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah”. At 32:12–14, in Jeremiah’s first-person telling, Jeremiah delivers the deed of the purchase to him in the presence of Hanamel, of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase and of all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard, and commands him before them, saying, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.” 32:16 says, “Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD”. The Korean Revised Version reads at 32:12 마세야의 손자 네리야의 아들 바룩 (Baruch the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah). Jeremiah 36:4–8 says that Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, that Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the LORD’s words on a scroll of a book, and that he did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the LORD’s words in the LORD’s house; 36:10–19, that he read the words of Jeremiah from the book in the room of Gemariah in the ears of all the people and read it again in the hearing of the princes, who told him to go and hide with Jeremiah; and 36:32, that Jeremiah gave him another scroll, and he “wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.” Jeremiah 43:2–3 says that Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah and all the proud men said to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. … Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon”; 43:5–7, that Johanan and all the captains of the forces took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah into the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes; and 45:1–5 gives the message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, “when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah”, which begins, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch”.

Jeremiah

Named at 2 Samuel 21:8 as the father of Adriel: “the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.” The Korean Revised Version spells the name 바실래 and puts 므홀랏 사람 (the Meholathite) before it.

2 Samuel

Named at 2 Samuel 17:27 as “Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim”. At 17:27–29, when David has come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash, Machir the son of Ammiel and Barzillai bring beds, basins, earthen vessels, wheat, barley, meal, parched grain, beans, lentils, roasted grain, honey, butter, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him to eat. 2 Samuel 19:31–39 says that Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim to conduct the king over the Jordan; that he was a very aged man, even eighty years old, and had provided the king with sustenance while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man; that when the king said, “Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem”, Barzillai said, “Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother”, and asked that “your servant Chimham” go over with the king; and that the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own place.

She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon.” 1 Kings 1:11–14 says that Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Now therefore come, please let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and your son Solomon’s life”; 1:15–17 that Bathsheba went in to the king in his room and said to him, “My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your servant, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’”; and 2:13–19 that Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon and said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife”, and that when Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, the king rose up to meet her and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right hand.

2 Samuel, 1 Kings

Named at Nehemiah 3:18 as the son of Henadad: “Bavvai the son of Henadad, the ruler of half the district of Keilah made repairs.” Before his name WEB reads “their brothers,”, and the Korean Revised Version 그 형제.

Numbers

Named at 1 Samuel 9:1, in the line of Kish: “Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite”. The Korean Revised Version makes Kish 베고랏의 증손, the great-grandson of Becorath.

1 Samuel

Person in Genesis 36:31–43: Bedad.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 12:11, in Samuel’s words to the people, among those the LORD sent: “The LORD sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety.” The Korean Revised Version has Samuel say 나 사무엘 (I, Samuel).

1 Samuel

Named at 1 Chronicles 5:4–6: “The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, and Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive. He was prince of the Reubenites.” The Korean Revised Version gives his office first (저는 르우벤 자손의 두목으로서 앗수르 왕 디글랏 빌레셀에게 사로잡힌 자라, he was prince of the Reubenites, carried away captive by Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria).

The Korean Revised Version counts his forebears (아사스의 아들이요 세마의 손자요 요엘의 증손이라, the son of Azaz, the grandson of Shema, the great-grandson of Joel), makes Jeiel, Zechariah and Bela 족장 된 자 (those who were chiefs), and names no one at 5:9 where WEB reads “he lived eastward”.

1 Chronicles

Genesis, Numbers, 1 Chronicles

Person in Genesis 36:31–43: Bela (son of Beor).

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at Daniel 5:1: “Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.” At 5:2–4 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him; the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines drank from them (the Korean Revised Version: 왕후들, queens, for “wives”), and they praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone. At 5:5–9 the fingers of a man’s hand wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, and “The king saw the part of the hand that wrote”; the king’s wise men could not read the writing, and King Belshazzar was greatly troubled. Among Daniel’s words to the king at 5:17–23 are, “You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven”. 5:29 says, “Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom,” and 5:30, “In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.”

Daniel

Named at 1 Kings 4:11: “Ben Abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath, Solomon’s daughter, as wife)”. The name stands among those that 4:7–19 gives as the twelve officers Solomon had over all Israel.

The name stands among those that 4:7–19 gives as the twelve officers Solomon had over all Israel. This collection keeps him apart from Geber the son of Uri of 4:19: the two names differ in both editions.

1 Kings

Named at 1 Kings 20:1: “Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.” At 20:2–3 he sends messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, “Ben Hadad says, ‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine’”, and at 20:10 he says, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.” At 20:16–20 Ben Hadad is drinking himself drunk in the pavilions with the thirty-two kings who helped him, and Ben Hadad the king of Syria escapes on a horse with horsemen; at 20:23–25 the servants of the king of Syria say to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they”, and he listens to their voice and does so. At 20:26–30, at the return of the year, Ben Hadad musters the Syrians and goes up to Aphek to fight against Israel, and flees and comes into the city, into an inner room. At 20:32–34 his servants say to the king of Israel, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live’”; Ben Hadad says to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria”; and the text goes on, “‘I’, said Ahab, ‘will let you go with this covenant.’ So he made a covenant with him and let him go.” Chapter 20 does not name his father. 2 Kings 6:24 says, “After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.” At 8:7–15, when Elisha comes to Damascus, Benhadad the king of Syria is sick; the king says to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”; and on the next day “he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.” Neither passage names his father. At 8:15 the Korean Revised Version names Hazael as the one who dipped the cloth in water (하사엘이 이불을 물에 적시어).

1 Kings, 2 Kings

Named at 2 Kings 13:3 as the son of Hazael: the LORD delivered Israel “into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.” 13:24 says, “Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.” 13:25 says, “Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.” The Korean Revised Version reads 그 아들 벤하닷, his son Benhadad, at 13:3; at 13:25 it reads 두어 성읍, a few cities, which 자기 부친 여호아하스가 전쟁 중에 빼앗겼던 것이라, his father Jehoahaz had lost in the war, and names Benhadad where WEB says “him” (요아스가 벤하닷을 세번 쳐서).

2 Kings

Named at 1 Kings 15:18, where Asa takes the silver and gold that was left in the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and King Asa sends them “to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus”. At 15:20 Ben Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. The Korean Revised Version calls him 헤시온의 손자 다브림몬의 아들, the son of Tabrimmon, the grandson of Hezion; in neither edition does 15:18 say whether “king of Syria” is his title or Hezion’s.

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 4:10: “Ben Hesed, in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher belonged to him)”. The name stands among those that 4:7–19 gives as the twelve officers Solomon had over all Israel.

Ezekiel

Named at 2 Samuel 8:18 as the son of Jehoiada: “Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites”. 2 Samuel 23:20–23 names Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds: he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab, went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow, and plucked the spear out of a huge Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear; he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three, and David set him over his guard. The Korean Revised Version calls him 갑스엘 용사의 손자, the grandson of a valiant man of Kabzeel. 1 Kings 1:8 says that Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was not with Adonijah; 1:36 that he answered the king, “Amen. May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so”; 2:25, 2:34 and 2:46 that he fell on Adonijah, on Joab and on Shimei, and each of them died; and 2:35, “The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army”, in the place of Joab, whom he had killed. 1 Chronicles 27:5–6 says, “The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the chief priest. In his division were twenty-four thousand. This is that Benaiah who was the mighty man of the thirty and over the thirty. Of his division was Ammizabad his son.”

2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles

Genesis, Numbers, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Chronicles 7:23: “He went in to his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and he named him Beriah, because there was trouble with his house.” The Korean Revised Version names Ephraim there (그 후에 에브라임이 그 아내와 동침하였더니, after that Ephraim went in to his wife) and does not say who named the son (그 이름을 브리아라 하였더라, his name was called Beriah). At 7:25 the Korean Revised Version reads 브리아의 아들들은 레바와 레셉이요, the sons of Beriah were Rephah and Resheph, where WEB reads “Rephah was his son, Resheph his son”.

1 Chronicles

Named at Acts 25:13: King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus. At 25:23, on the next day, Agrippa and Bernice come with great pomp and enter into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city. These verses do not say how Bernice is related to Agrippa. Acts 26:30–31 says that the king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them, and when they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”

Acts

Named at 2 Kings 20:12: “At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.” 20:13 says, “Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the storehouse of his precious things”, and at 20:14 Isaiah the prophet asks, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?”, and Hezekiah says, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon.” The Korean Revised Version tells first that he heard of the sickness, sets 바벨론 왕 (king of Babylon) before the name 부로닥발라단, and has Hezekiah hear 사자의 말 (the messengers’ words) at 20:13.

The Korean Revised Version reads 그 시체를, the body, where WEB reads “him”.

2 Kings

At 2:3–8 Ruth gleans in the portion of the field belonging to him, and he tells her to “stay here close to my maidens”; at 2:20 Naomi says of him, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.” At 3:12–13, on the threshing floor, he tells Ruth that there is a kinsman nearer than he, and that if that kinsman will not do the duty of a kinsman for her, he will, as the LORD lives. At 4:1–10, when the near kinsman at the gate says he can’t redeem it, Boaz tells the elders and all the people that he has bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi, and has purchased Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, to be his wife. 4:13 says that Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife, and she bore a son, and 4:21 that Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed.

Luke 3:2 says that the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas. John 11:47–50 has the chief priests and the Pharisees gather a council, and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, say to them, “You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish,” and 11:51–52 says that he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. John 18:13–14 calls Caiaphas high priest that year and Annas his father-in-law, and says it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people; at 18:24 Annas sends Jesus bound to Caiaphas, the high priest, and at 18:28 they lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. Acts 4:5–7 says that in the morning the rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem, and “Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest”; when they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

Matthew, Luke, John, Acts

Person in Genesis 4:1–2: Cain.

Genesis, Hebrews, 1 John, Jude

Named in the genealogy at Luke 3:35–36: Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad. This collection does not decide how this fits the line of Genesis 11:12–13.

Luke

Named at 1 Kings 4:31, where WEB reads “Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol”, and the Korean Revised Version 마홀의 아들 헤만과 갈골과 다르다. 4:30–31 says, “Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations all around.”

1 Kings

Named at 1 Chronicles 2:18–19: “Caleb the son of Hezron became the father of children by Azubah his wife, and by Jerioth; and these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. Azubah died, and Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur.” 2:42 opens his line, “The sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were Mesha his firstborn, who was the father of Ziph”; 2:46 and 2:48 name “Ephah, Caleb’s concubine” and “Maacah, Caleb’s concubine”, and 2:49 ends, “and the daughter of Caleb was Achsah.” 2:50 reads, “These were the sons of Caleb, the son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah”, where the Korean Revised Version reads 갈렙의 자손 곧 에브라다의 맏아들 훌의 아들은 이러하니 (these were the descendants of Caleb, that is, the sons of Hur the firstborn of Ephrathah); the collection does not decide whether WEB’s “Caleb, the son of Hur” is the Caleb of 2:18–19.

1 Chronicles

Named at Numbers 13:6 as the spy sent from the tribe of Judah, the son of Jephunneh. At 13:30 he stills the people before Moses and says they should go up at once and possess the land, and at 14:6–9 he and Joshua tear their clothes and tell the congregation that the land is exceedingly good. At 14:24 the LORD calls him his servant, who has followed him fully, and says he will bring him into the land he went to; 14:30 excepts him and Joshua from those counted who shall not come into the land, and 14:38 has the two of them remain alive of the men who went to spy it out. Numbers 26:63–65 records that of those counted in the wilderness of Sinai, not one was left among those counted in the plains of Moab except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. Numbers 32:12 calls him the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, who with Joshua followed the LORD completely, and 34:19 names him the prince from the tribe of Judah who is to divide the land. At Deuteronomy 1:34–36 the LORD swears that not one of this evil generation shall see the good land “except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.” Joshua 14:6–12 says that when the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart,” “Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today. As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me,” and “Now therefore give me this hill country, of which the LORD spoke in that day”; 14:13–14 says that Joshua blessed Caleb and gave him Hebron for an inheritance, and that Hebron became his inheritance to this day, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel wholeheartedly. Joshua 15:13–19 says that, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, Caleb was given a portion among the children of Judah, even Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), and drove out the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai; that he promised Achsah his daughter as wife to him who struck Kiriath Sepher and took it, and gave her to Othniel, who took it; and that when Achsah asked for a blessing and for springs of water, Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at Acts 8:27, which tells of “a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship”; the verse names her only in telling of him.

Acts

Joshua 7:1 and 7:18 name him as the father of Achan: “Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah”. The Korean Revised Version calls Achan the son of Carmi, the grandson of Zabdi and the great-grandson of Zerah.

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Chronicles 15:22: “Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.” 15:27 says that David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, “as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers”. The Korean Revised Version reads 노래에 익숙하므로 노래를 주장하여 사람에게 가르치는 자요, Chenaniah, skilled in song, was over the singing and taught others (15:22), and calls him 그 두목 그나냐, Chenaniah their chief (15:27).

1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Chronicles 26:29: “Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were appointed to the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.” The Korean Revised Version reads 이스라엘 바깥 일을 다스리는 유사와 재판관이 되었고 (became officers and judges who ruled the outward business of Israel). 1 Chronicles 15:22 and 15:27 name a Chenaniah, of whom 15:22 says that he “was over the singing”; the text does not say whether the two are one man, and this collection keeps them apart.

1 Chronicles

Person in Genesis 36:20–30: Cheran.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 3:2–3 among the sons born to David in Hebron: “his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite”.

2 Samuel

Ruth 1:2 names him one of the two sons of Elimelech. At 1:4–5 the two sons take wives of the women of Moab and live there about ten years, and Mahlon and Chilion both die. At 4:9 Boaz says he has bought all that was Chilion’s from the hand of Naomi.

Ruth

Named at 2 Samuel 19:37, where Barzillai says to the king, “But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.” At 19:38 the king answers, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you. Whatever you request of me, that I will do for you.” 19:40 says, “So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him.”

2 Samuel

Father of Elidad, named at Numbers 34:21.

Numbers

Named at Luke 8:3 as Herod’s steward. Luke 8:1–3 says that as Jesus went about through cities and villages the twelve were with him, and certain women, among them Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, and many others who served them from their possessions.

Luke

Named at Acts 11:28, which says that the great famine all over the world that Agabus indicated by the Spirit happened in the days of Claudius. The verse says nothing more of who he was. Acts 18:2 says that a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome.

Acts

Named at Acts 23:26 as the writer of a letter: “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.” At 23:22–25 the commanding officer lets the young man go, calls two of the centurions to prepare soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, asks them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one and bring him safely to Felix the governor, and writes the letter. In it, at 23:27–29, he writes, “This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman. Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council. I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.” At 24:22 Felix says, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.” This collection takes the commanding officer of 22:24–30, 23:10 and 23:15–25 to be this man, because 23:22–25 has that commanding officer write the letter and 24:22 calls Lysias the commanding officer.

Acts

Named at Philippians 4:3: “Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.” The Korean Revised Version reads 저 부녀들을 돕고 또한 글레멘드와 그 외에 나의 동역자들을 도우라, asking the one addressed to help those women and also Clement and the rest of the writer’s fellow workers.

Luke

Named at John 19:25, which calls Mary, standing by Jesus’ cross, the wife of Clopas; the verse names him only to say whose wife she is.

John

Named at Nehemiah 3:15 as the father of Shallun: “Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah, repaired the spring gate. He built it, covered it, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars; and he repaired the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king’s garden, even to the stairs that go down from David’s city.”

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 11:5 in the line of Maaseiah: “and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.” The Korean Revised Version counts the generations (저는 바룩의 아들이요 골호세의 손자요 …, he is the son of Baruch, the grandson of Colhozeh …) and ends with 실로 사람의 칠대손이라, the seventh generation of the Shilonite, where WEB reads “the son of the Shilonite”. Neither edition names the Shilonite.

Nehemiah

2 Chronicles 35:9 names Conaniah with his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel among Levite chiefs who give offerings to Levites.

2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 31:12–13 says Conaniah the Levite rules over the offerings, tithes, and dedicated things, with overseers under him.

2 Chronicles

Named at Acts 10:1 as a certain man in Caesarea, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment. At 10:2–8 he is a devout man, one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people and always prayed to God; in a vision an angel of God tells him to send men to Joppa and get Simon, who is also called Peter, and he sends two of his household servants and a devout soldier to Joppa; at 10:17–22 the men sent by Cornelius tell Peter, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house”; and at 10:24–33 Cornelius, having called together his relatives and his near friends, meets Peter, falls down at his feet and worships him, and tells how a man stood before him in bright clothing while he prayed in his house.

Acts

Named in the genealogy at Luke 3:28: Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at Judges 3:8 as king of Mesopotamia. At 3:8–10 the LORD’s anger burns against Israel and he sells them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim, and the children of Israel serve him eight years; when Othniel, on whom the LORD’s Spirit has come, goes out to war, the LORD delivers Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into Othniel’s hand, and his hand prevails against Cushan Rishathaim.

Judges

Named at Zephaniah 1:1 as the father of Zephaniah: “Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah”.

At 1:2–4 the proclamation begins, “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.’” At 1:7–8 Cyrus the king brings out the vessels of the LORD’s house, and Cyrus king of Persia brings them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer (the Korean Revised Version: 고지기 미드르닷을 명하여, commanded Mithredath the treasurer), and counts them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. Ezra 3:7 says that they gave money to the masons and to the carpenters, and food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, “according to the grant that they had from Cyrus King of Persia”; 4:3 gives, in the words of Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel, “as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us”, and 4:5 names “all the days of Cyrus king of Persia”; 5:13–15 gives, in the answer written in the letter to Darius the king, “in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God”, and, in the same answer, that the gold and silver vessels Cyrus the king took out of the temple of Babylon were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor, and that he said to him, “Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let God’s house be built in its place”; 6:3–5 gives the record written in a scroll, which begins, “In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning God’s house at Jerusalem, let the house be built”; and 6:14 says that the elders of the Jews built and finished it “according to the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia”. Isaiah 45:1 reads, “The LORD says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut”, and 45:4 gives, in the words to Cyrus that follow, “For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.”

2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah, Daniel

Named at Esther 9:7 among the ten sons of Haman. 9:6–10 says, “In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha, the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.” At 9:12–14 the king’s words to Esther the queen include “five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman”, Esther says, “let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows”, and “The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.”

Esther

Acts

Person in Genesis 35:22–26: Dan.

Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1 Chronicles

Named at Daniel 1:6: “Now among these of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.” At 1:7 the prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: “to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar”. At 1:8 “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank”; 1:17 says that “Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams”, and 1:21, “Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus.” At 2:16 Daniel desires of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation; at 2:17 he makes the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions; and 2:19 says, “Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” At 2:48–49 the king makes Daniel great, gives him many great gifts, and makes him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon; “but Daniel was in the king’s gate”, where the Korean Revised Version reads 왕궁에 (in the king’s palace). Daniel 4:8–9 gives, in Nebuchadnezzar’s proclamation, the king’s words, “But at last, Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods,” and that the king called him “Belteshazzar, master of the magicians” and asked him to tell the visions of the king’s dream and its interpretation; and 4:19–27 says that Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him, and that he gave the king the interpretation, “The tree that you saw, which grew and was strong, … it is you, O king, that have grown and become strong,” and his counsel, “O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor.” At Daniel 5:12 the queen’s words to the king name “the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar” and say, “Now let Daniel be called”; at 5:13–17 Daniel is brought in before the king and answers, “Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation”; and 5:29 says, “Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom” (the Korean Revised Version: 나라의 세째 치리자를 삼으니라, made him the third ruler of the kingdom). At 6:2–3 Daniel is one of the three presidents set over the local governors, and is distinguished above the presidents and the local governors; at 6:10, when he knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, “now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem”, and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God; at 6:16–23 he is cast into the den of lions and taken up out of the den, “and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.” 6:28 says, “So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.” Daniel 7:1 says, “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters”; 7:15–16 reads, “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this”; 8:1–2, “In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first. I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai”; 8:27, “I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick for some days. Then I rose up and did the king’s business”; 9:2–3, “I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years. I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes”; and 9:21–22, “the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening offering. He instructed me and talked with me, and said, ‘Daniel, I have now come to give you wisdom and understanding.’” Daniel 10:1 says, “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar”, and, “He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision” (the Korean Revised Version names Daniel again there: 다니엘이 그 일을 분명히 알았고); 10:2–9, “In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks”, “as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel”, and “I, Daniel, alone saw the vision”; at 10:11–12 the one who speaks to him calls him “Daniel, you greatly beloved man”, and says, “from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard”; and 12:4, 12:9 and 12:13 give the words said to him, “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end”, “Go your way, Daniel”, and “But go your way until the end; for you will rest, and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.” Matthew 24:15 names him as the prophet whose words are quoted; he is not present in the scene. WEB’s Mark 13:14 says the abomination of desolation was spoken of by Daniel the prophet; the Korean Revised Version does not name him in that verse.

Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew, Mark

Named at 1 Kings 4:31, where WEB reads “Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol”, and the Korean Revised Version 마홀의 아들 헤만과 갈골과 다르다. 4:30–31 says, “Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations all around.”

1 Kings

Named at Ezra 4:5 as “Darius king of Persia”. 4:4–5 says that the people of the land hired counselors against the people of Judah to frustrate their purpose “all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia”, and 4:24, “It stopped until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.” 5:5 says, “But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they didn’t make them cease until the matter should come to Darius, and an answer should be returned by letter concerning it”, and 5:6–10 gives the copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites sent to Darius the king. At 6:1–2 Darius the king makes a decree, the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, is searched, and a scroll is found at Achmetha; 6:6–12 gives the words of a decree, which end at 6:12, “I Darius have made a decree. Let it be done with all diligence.” 6:13–15 says that Tattenai, Shetharbozenai, and their companions did accordingly with all diligence, because Darius the king had sent a decree, that the elders of the Jews built and finished the house, and, “This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.”

Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah

Named at Daniel 5:31: “Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old” (the Korean Revised Version: 육십 이세, sixty-two years old). At 6:1–2 it pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, and over them three presidents; 6:9 says, “Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.” At 6:14 the king “set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.” At 6:16–23 the king commanded, and they cast Daniel into the den of lions; the king said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you,” sealed the stone laid on the mouth of the den with his own signet and with the signet of his lords, and passed the night fasting; very early in the morning he went in haste to the den of lions and spoke to Daniel, and, exceedingly glad, commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. At 6:25–27 King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth, “I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.”

Daniel

Named at Numbers 16:1 as a son of Eliab. With Korah, Abiram and On he rises up against Moses (16:1–2); when Moses sends for them, he and Abiram refuse to come up (16:12–14), and at 16:27–33 they stand at the doors of their tents with their wives and little ones, the ground splits apart, and they go down alive into Sheol with their households. Numbers 26:9–10 recalls that Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, called by the congregation, rebelled against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah when they rebelled against the LORD, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah.

Numbers, Deuteronomy, Psalms

Ruth 4:17 names Obed “the father of Jesse, the father of David,” and 4:22 says, “Jesse became the father of David.” 1 Samuel 16:4–13 says that Samuel came to Bethlehem and called Jesse and his sons to the sacrifice; when seven of Jesse’s sons had passed before Samuel, the youngest, who was keeping the sheep, was brought in, and the LORD said, “Arise! Anoint him, for this is he”; Samuel anointed him in the middle of his brothers, and the LORD’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. At 16:19–23 Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep,” and when the spirit from God is on Saul, David takes the harp and plays with his hand, so that Saul is refreshed and is well. 17:12–14 call David the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah whose name was Jesse, and the youngest of his eight sons; at 17:23 the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, says the same words, and David hears them; and at 17:48–51 David prevails over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine and kills him, but there is no sword in David’s hand; then David runs, stands over the Philistine, takes his sword, draws it out of its sheath, kills him, and cuts off his head with it. 1 Samuel 18:5 says that David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war; at 18:13–16 Saul makes him his captain over a thousand, and he goes out and comes in before the people, and all Israel and Judah love David; at 18:27 David goes with his men and kills two hundred men of the Philistines and brings their foreskins, and Saul gives him Michal his daughter as wife; at 19:11–18 Michal, David’s wife, lets David down through the window, and he flees and escapes and comes to Samuel at Ramah, and tells him all that Saul had done to him; and at 20:1–42 David flees from Naioth in Ramah and says to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”, hides himself in the field, and afterward he and Jonathan kiss one another and weep with one another, and he arises and departs. 1 Samuel 21:1–15 says that David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest, who gave him holy bread, and that he went to Achish the king of Gath and pretended to be insane; 22:1–2 that he escaped to Adullam’s cave, and there were with him about four hundred men; 23:1–5 that he inquired of the LORD and saved the inhabitants of Keilah; and 24:1–22 that he cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe in the cave, and swore to Saul. 1 Samuel 25:1–44 says that David went down to the wilderness of Paran and sent ten young men to greet Nabal in his name; that when Nabal answered, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse?”, David put on his sword; that Abigail, Nabal’s wife, met him and fell before him on her face, and he said to her, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!” and received from her hand that which she had brought him; and that after Nabal died she went after the messengers of David and became his wife, and he also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; 26:1–25, that when Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, David and Abishai came to the people by night, David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”, and took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and 27:1–12, that he passed over with six hundred men to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath, received Ziklag from Achish, lived in the country of the Philistines a full year and four months, and with his men raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. 1 Samuel 28:1–2 has Achish say to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever”; at 29:1–11 the princes of the Philistines are angry, and Achish calls David and says to him, “Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines,” and David rises up early, he and his men, to return into the land of the Philistines; and at 30:1–26, when the Amalekites have burned Ziklag and taken David’s two wives captive, David strengthens himself in the LORD his God, inquires of the LORD, pursues with four hundred men, recovers all that the Amalekites had taken and rescues his two wives, says, “For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike,” and makes it a statute and an ordinance for Israel, and, when he comes to Ziklag, sends some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends. 2 Samuel 1:1–16 says that after the death of Saul, when David had stayed two days in Ziklag, a man came out of the camp from Saul and told David, “Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also”, and that David said to the young man who told him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”, called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!”; at 1:17–27 David laments with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son; at 2:1–4 David inquires of the LORD and goes up to Hebron, and the men of Judah come, and there they anoint David king over the house of Judah; and at 2:5–7 David sends messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead. 2 Samuel 3:2–5 names the sons born to David in Hebron, Amnon, Chileab, Absalom, Adonijah, Shephatiah and Ithream; 5:1–3 says that all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron and anointed David king over Israel; 5:4–5 that David was thirty years old when he began to reign and reigned forty years, seven years and six months in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem; and 5:7 that David took the stronghold of Zion. 2 Samuel 6:1–23 says that David went to bring up God’s ark, and, afraid of the LORD on the day Uzzah died by God’s ark, carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house; then he went and brought up God’s ark into David’s city with joy, and danced before the LORD with all his might; 7:1–29, that the LORD’s word came to Nathan, and Nathan spoke to David all these words, and David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?”; and 8:1–18, that David struck the Philistines and subdued them, defeated Moab, struck Hadadezer king of Zobah, put garrisons in Edom, and reigned over all Israel, executing justice and righteousness for all his people. 2 Samuel 9:1–13 says that David said to Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son, “I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake”, and that Mephibosheth ate continually at the king’s table; 10:1–19 that Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and sent them away, and that David passed over the Jordan, came to Helam, and killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen; and 11:2–27 that David lay with Bathsheba, Uriah the Hittite’s wife, wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah, and, when the mourning was past, took Uriah’s wife home to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son, and that the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. 2 Samuel 12:1–13 says that when Nathan, whom the LORD sent, told David of two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor, David said, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die”, and that after Nathan said to him, “You are the man”, and told him what the LORD says, David said, “I have sinned against the LORD”; 12:15–31 says that the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David died on the seventh day, that Bathsheba his wife bore Solomon, and that David went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it; and 13:30–39 says that when the news came that Absalom had slain all the king’s sons, the king tore his garments and lay on the earth, and that David mourned for his son every day. 2 Samuel 15:13–14 says that a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom”, and that David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom”; 15:30 that David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered and went barefoot; and 15:31 that David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.” 2 Samuel 16:5–14 says that when Shimei the son of Gera cursed, David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Leave him alone, and let him curse”; 17:22 that David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; 17:24 that David came to Mahanaim; 18:1–5 that David sent the people out under the hand of Joab, Abishai and Ittai, and commanded, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom”; and 18:33 that the king went up to the room over the gate and wept, and said, “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!” 2 Samuel 19:1–8 says that the king covered his face and cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”, that Joab said to him, “Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants”, and that the king arose and sat in the gate; 19:15–40 that the king returned and came to the Jordan, said to Shimei, “You will not die”, said to Mephibosheth, “I say, you and Ziba divide the land”, kissed Barzillai, and went over to Gilgal; and 20:3 that David came to his house at Jerusalem and put the ten women his concubines in custody. 2 Samuel 21:1–3 says that there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year, that David sought the face of the LORD, and that David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”; at 21:7 the king spares Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, because of the LORD’s oath that was between David and Jonathan the son of Saul; at 21:11–12 David is told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done, and goes and takes the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead; at 21:15–17 David grows faint in the war with the Philistines, Abishai the son of Zeruiah helps him, and the men of David swear to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel”; and at 22:1 David speaks to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul. 2 Samuel 23:1–7 gives “the last words of David”; at 23:13–17 David longs for water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate, but will not drink the water the three mighty men bring him, and pours it out to the LORD; and at 24:1–25 the LORD moves David, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah”, David’s heart strikes him after he has counted the people, and after the LORD sends a pestilence David goes up according to the saying of Gad, buys the threshing floor of Araunah for fifty shekels of silver, and builds an altar to the LORD there. 1 Kings 1:1–4 says that King David was old and advanced in years and couldn’t keep warm, that his servants said, “Let a young virgin be sought for my lord the king”, and that they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the king, “but the king didn’t know her intimately”; 1:28–35 that King David said to Bathsheba, “most certainly as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, ‘Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place;’ I will most certainly do this today”, and had Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada called, and said to them, “cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon. Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel”; 2:1–9 that when the days of David came near that he should die, he commanded Solomon his son, “You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man; and keep the instruction of the LORD your God”, and spoke to him of Joab the son of Zeruiah, of the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite and of Shimei the son of Gera; and 2:10–11 says, “David slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city.

I will therefore make preparation for it”, prepared abundantly before his death, and called for Solomon his son and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel. 1 Chronicles 29:26–28 says, “Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem. He died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.” Matthew 1:1–17 and Luke 3:23–38 also name him in the genealogy, and at Acts 13:22 Paul says that God testified, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.”

At 10:16–27 the five kings hide in the cave at Makkedah and are brought out to Joshua, who strikes them, puts them to death, and hangs them on five trees.

They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.”

Matthew

Named at 1 Chronicles 23:21: “The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.” 23:22 says, “Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only; and their relatives, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.” 24:28 names him again: “Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.” The Korean Revised Version reads 그 형제 기스의 아들이 저에게 장가 들었으며 at 23:22, where WEB reads “their relatives, the sons of Kish”.

Named at Ezra 8:33 as “Eleazar the son of Phinehas”: “On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.”

Ezra

Named at 2 Samuel 23:24 as “Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem”. The name stands among those that 23:24–39 opens with “Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty” and closes with “thirty-seven in all”.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 21:19 as the son of Jaare-Oregim: “There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.” The Korean Revised Version names the brother 라흐미 and says 그 자의 창 자루 (that man’s spear shaft). 1 Chronicles 20:5 says, “Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.” The Korean Revised Version reads 이 사람의 창자루, this man’s spear shaft.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 1:3 as the father of Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD at Shiloh, and at 1:9 as the priest: “Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’s temple.” At 1:12–17 Eli sees the mouth of Hannah as she prays, thinks she is drunk and says, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”; after her answer he says, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.” At 1:25–26 they bring the child to Eli, and she says, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.” At 2:11 the child serves the LORD before Eli the priest, and at 2:20 Eli blesses Elkanah and his wife. At 2:22–25 Eli is very old, and he hears all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting; he says to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all these people”, but they don’t listen to the voice of their father. 2:27–36 gives the LORD’s word that a man of God brings to Eli, which says, “This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.” At 3:2–9, when Eli’s eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see, the LORD calls Samuel, and Eli perceives that the LORD had called the child; at 3:12 the LORD says to Samuel, “In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.” At 3:16 Eli calls Samuel and says, “Samuel, my son!”, and 3:18 says, “Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, ‘It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.’” 1 Samuel 4:12–18 says that when a man of Benjamin who ran out of the army came to Shiloh, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark; that Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were set, so that he could not see; and that when he who brought the news answered, “Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured,” and made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died, “for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.”

With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness?”

Matthew

Named at 2 Kings 18:18 as the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household.

Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.” At 18:37 Eliakim comes with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and tells him Rabshakeh’s words. At 19:1–2 King Hezekiah sends Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

The name stands among those that 23:24–39 opens with “Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty” and closes with “thirty-seven in all”. This collection keeps him apart from the Eliam of 11:3 and does not decide whether they are the same man.

They sanctified it even to the tower of Hammeah, to the tower of Hananel.” The Korean Revised Version reads that they also built the wall and sanctified it from the tower of Hammeah to the tower of Hananel (또 성벽을 건축하여 함메아 망대에서부터 하나넬 망대까지 성별하였고). At 3:20–21 Baruch the son of Zabbai repairs “from the turning of the wall to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest”, and Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz “from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib”. Nehemiah 12:10 says, “Joiakim became the father of Eliashib, and Eliashib became the father of Joiada”; 12:22–23 say that the heads of fathers’ households of the Levites were recorded in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, and that the sons of Levi were written in the book of the chronicles “even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib”; 13:4–5 say, “Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah, had prepared for him a great room”; at 13:7 the speaker (“I”) came to Jerusalem “and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house”; and 13:28 says, “One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.”

Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.’” 15:14 says, “So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.” At 15:12 the Korean Revised Version has David call them 레위 사람의 족장, the chiefs of the Levites.

Named at 1 Kings 17:1 as “Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead”, who says to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” Chapters 17–18 tell that the ravens brought him bread and meat by the brook Cherith before the Jordan; that at Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, a widow, he, and her household ate many days; and that when the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, had no breath left in him, he cried to the LORD, and the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah. They tell too that he met Obadiah, and told Ahab to gather all Israel and the prophets of Baal to Mount Carmel; that he repaired the LORD’s altar that had been thrown down, and at the time of the evening offering came near and spoke, and the LORD’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering; that he brought the prophets of Baal down to the brook Kishon and killed them there; and that when there was a great rain and the LORD’s hand was on him, he ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. 1 Kings 19:1–3 says that Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”, and that he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah; 19:4–8 that he sat down under a juniper tree and requested for himself that he might die, that an angel and then the LORD’s angel touched him and said, “Arise and eat”, and that he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain; 19:9–14 that he came to a cave there, that the LORD’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”, and that the LORD was not in the wind, the earthquake or the fire, and after the fire there was a still small voice; 19:15–18 that the LORD told him to anoint Hazael, Jehu the son of Nimshi, and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah; and 19:19–21 that Elijah found Elisha the son of Shaphat plowing and put his mantle on him, and that Elisha went after Elijah and served him. 1 Kings 21:17–19 says that the LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria”; 21:20 that Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?”, and he answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight”; and 21:27–29 that when Ahab tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body and fasted, the LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “See how Ahab humbles himself before me?” 2 Kings 1:3–4 says that the LORD’s angel told Elijah the Tishbite to go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and tell them, “Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?”, and that Elijah departed; 1:5–8 that the messengers who returned told the king of a man who was “a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist”, and that he said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite”; 1:9–12 that when two captains of fifty were sent to him, Elijah answered, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!”, and fire (at 1:12, God’s fire) came down from the sky and consumed the captain and his fifty; 1:13–17 that the third captain of fifty fell on his knees before Elijah and begged him, that the LORD’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him”, that Elijah went down with him to the king and told him the LORD’s word, and that the king died according to the LORD’s word which Elijah had spoken; 2:1–8 that when the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal to Bethel, to Jericho and to the Jordan, Elisha saying each time, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you”, and that Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the waters, and they both went over on dry ground; and 2:9–11 that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you”, and that “behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” Malachi 4:5 gives the words, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes,” and 4:6, “He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” At Matthew 11:14 Jesus says of John (named at 11:11–13), “this is Elijah, who is to come”; he is not present in the scene. Mark 9:4 has him appear with Moses on the high mountain and talk with Jesus; at 9:11–13, asked why the scribes say that Elijah must come first, Jesus answers that Elijah indeed comes first and restores all things, and that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they wanted, as it is written about him. At Luke 4:25–26 Jesus says in the synagogue at Nazareth that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months and a great famine came over all the land, yet Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. Luke 9:28–33 has Elijah appear in glory with Moses while Jesus prays on the mountain, talking with Jesus and speaking of the departure Jesus was about to accomplish at Jerusalem, and Peter proposes a tent for Elijah as well; at 9:54 WEB has James and John ask whether they should command fire to come down from the sky “just as Elijah did,” words the Korean Revised Version does not have.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 19:16, where the LORD says, “anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.” At 19:19–21 Elijah finds Elisha the son of Shaphat, who is plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth; Elijah goes over to him and puts his mantle on him; Elisha leaves the oxen and runs after Elijah, and says, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you”; and he takes the yoke of oxen, kills them, boils their meat, gives to the people, and then arises, goes after Elijah, and serves him. 2 Kings 2:1–8 says that when Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal to Bethel, to Jericho and to the Jordan, Elisha said each time, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you”; 2:9–12 that Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me”, and that when Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elisha cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”; 2:13–15 that he took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him and struck the waters, and they were divided apart, and Elisha went over, and that the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha”; 2:19–22 that he threw salt into the spring of the waters and spoke the LORD’s word, and that the waters were healed “according to Elisha’s word which he spoke”; 2:23–24 that youths who came out of the city mocked him as he went up to Bethel, that he cursed them in the LORD’s name, and that two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths; 3:11 that one of the king of Israel’s servants said, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here”; and 3:13–20 that Elisha said to the king of Israel, “were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you”, that when the musician played the LORD’s hand came on him and he said, “The LORD says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’”, and that in the morning water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. At 3:15 the Korean Revised Version names Elisha (여호와께서 엘리사를 감동하시니, the LORD moved Elisha), where WEB says “him”. 2 Kings 4:1–7 says that a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, that he said to her, “Tell me, what do you have in the house?”, and she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil”, and that when the containers were full and her son said to her, “There isn’t another container”, the oil stopped flowing; 4:8–37 that when Elisha went to Shunem a prominent woman said to her husband, “Please, let’s make a little room on the roof” (the Korean Revised Version: 담 위에, on the wall); that Elisha (WEB “He”) said to her, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son”, and she bore a son; that when the child had died, she came to the man of God to Mount Carmel; and that he shut the door, prayed to the LORD and stretched himself on the child, and the child’s flesh grew warm, and when he stretched himself out on him again the child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes; 4:38–41 that when Elisha came again to Gilgal in a famine, those eating the stew cried out, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!”, and he threw meal into the pot, and there was nothing harmful in the pot; 4:42–44 that a man from Baal Shalishah brought the man of God twenty loaves of barley, that Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat”, and that when his servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?”, he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”, and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word; 5:8–14 that Elisha the man of God sent a messenger to Naaman, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean”; 5:15–19 that when Naaman returned and said, “Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant”, the answer was, “As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none” (5:16 does not name the speaker: WEB “But he said”), and that Elisha (WEB “He”) said to him, “Go in peace”; and 5:20–27 that Elisha said to Gehazi his servant, “Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever”, and Gehazi went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow. 2 Kings 6:1–7 says that when Elisha went with the sons of the prophets to the Jordan and the ax head fell into the water as one was cutting down a tree, “He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float”, and 6:12 that one of the servants of the king of Syria said, “Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.” 6:13–14 says, “He was told, ‘Behold, he is in Dothan.’ Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city” (the Korean Revised Version: 혹이 왕에게 고하여 가로되 엘리사가 도단에 있나이다, someone told the king, Elisha is in Dothan). At 6:15–17 his servant says to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”; he answers, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them”; and the LORD opens the young man’s eyes, and he sees; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. At 6:18–20 Elisha prays to the LORD, “Please strike this people with blindness”; the text says, “He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word”; and Elisha, who says to them, “Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek”, leads them to Samaria (WEB “He led them to Samaria”). At 6:31 the king of Israel says, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today”, and 6:32 says that Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. At 7:1 Elisha says, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’” 8:1 says that Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, telling her to go with her household and stay wherever she could, “for the LORD has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years”; and at 8:7–13 Elisha comes to Damascus, Benhadad the king of Syria, who was sick, tells Hazael to take a present and go meet the man of God, Hazael comes and stands before him, the man of God weeps, and Elisha says to Hazael, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.” The Korean Revised Version names Elisha at 6:6 (엘리사가 나무가지를 베어), where WEB says “He”, and names no one at 6:16 or 6:17, where WEB reads “He answered” and “Elisha prayed”. 2 Kings 13:14 says, “Now Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, ‘My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!’” At 13:15–18 Elisha says to him, “Take bow and arrows” and “Put your hand on the bow”, and lays his hands on the king’s hands; he says, “Shoot!”, and says, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them”; and when he says to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”, the king strikes three times, and stops. 13:19 says, “The man of God was angry with him, and said, ‘You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.’” 13:20–21 says, “Elisha died, and they buried him”, and that when those who were burying a man threw him into Elisha’s tomb, as soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet. Luke 4:27 names him, in what Jesus says, as a prophet: there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.

At 25:28–29 he speaks kindly to him, sets his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon, and changes his prison garments, and Jehoiachin eats bread before him continually all the days of his life. The Korean Revised Version names him at 25:27 only in the date (바벨론 왕 에윌므로닥의 즉위한 원년, the first year that Evilmerodach king of Babylon began to reign), and gives the release no subject.

Ezekiel 24:15–24 has the speaker (“I”) say, “So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded”, and gives, in the LORD’s word he tells the people when they ask him, “Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do” (at 24:22, where WEB reads “You will do as I have done”, the Korean Revised Version names him too: 너희가 에스겔의 행한 바와 같이 행하여).

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at Ezra 7:1 as the son of Seraiah. 7:1–6 says, “Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the LORD his God’s hand on him.” The Korean Revised Version gives the line by generations, from 스라야의 아들이요 (the son of Seraiah) to 대제사장 아론의 십 륙대손이라 (the descendant of Aaron the chief priest in the sixteenth generation), and reads 웃시엘 where WEB reads Uzzi (7:4). At 7:8 Ezra (WEB “He”; the Korean Revised Version 이 에스라가 올라왔으니, this Ezra came up) comes to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king, and 7:10 says, “For Ezra had set his heart to seek the LORD’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.” 7:11 says, “Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the LORD’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel”; in the letter (7:12–26) the king makes a decree to all the treasurers beyond the River “that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence” (7:21), and at 7:25 turns to him: “You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them.” Ezra 10:1–17 says that while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra with words that begin, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing”; that Ezra arose and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they would do according to this word, rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib, and when he came there, didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles; that Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel. Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women”; and that Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, were set apart, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. Nehemiah 8:1–3 says that all the people gathered into the wide place that was in front of the water gate and spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, and that Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly on the first day of the seventh month, and read from it (WEB “He read”) from early morning until midday; 8:4–6 that Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood and opened the book in the sight of all the people, and, “Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. All the people answered, ‘Amen, Amen,’ with the lifting up of their hands.” At 8:9 Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “Today is holy to the LORD your God. Don’t mourn, nor weep.” 8:13 says that on the second day the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, to study the words of the law, and 8:18, “Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God” (the Korean Revised Version names Ezra here: 에스라는).

Named at Acts 23:24 as Felix the governor. At 23:22–24 the commanding officer asks the centurions to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one and bring him safely to Felix the governor, and at 23:26 Claudius Lysias writes to “the most excellent governor Felix”; at 24:3 Tertullus addresses him as “most excellent Felix”. At 24:22–27 Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, defers the case until Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down; after some days he comes with Drusilla his wife, sends for Paul and hears him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus; he is terrified as Paul reasons about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come; he hopes that money will be given to him by Paul and sends for Paul more often; and when two years are fulfilled, Felix is succeeded by Porcius Festus and, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, leaves Paul in bonds. At 25:14 Festus tells the king, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix.” This collection takes the governor of 23:33–35 and 24:10 to be this man, because at 23:24–26 the commanding officer sends Paul to Felix the governor with a letter to “the most excellent governor Felix”, at 23:33 the letter is delivered to the governor, and at 24:1–3 Tertullus, accusing Paul before the governor, calls him “most excellent Felix”.

At 25:6–12, sitting on the judgment seat at Caesarea and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Festus asks Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”, and when Paul appeals to Caesar, Festus confers with the council and answers, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.” At 25:13–27 King Agrippa and Bernice arrive at Caesarea and greet Festus, and Festus lays Paul’s case before the king; on the next day, at the command of Festus, Paul is brought in, and Festus says, “I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa.” Acts 26:24–25 has Festus say with a loud voice, as Paul makes his defense, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”, and Paul answer, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness”; at 26:32 Agrippa says to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

1 Chronicles, Nehemiah

Named at Acts 18:12: “when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.” At 18:14–16 Gallio says to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you; but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters,” and drives them from the judgment seat; at 18:17 all the Greeks seize Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat, and Gallio doesn’t care about any of these things.

Acts

Numbers 1:10 names him from Manasseh to stand with Moses and Aaron, son of Pedahzur; 2:20 calls him prince of the children of Manasseh.

Named at Acts 5:34: a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people. At 5:34–39 he stands up in the council, commands to put the apostles out for a little while, and says, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do”; he speaks of Theudas and of Judas of Galilee, and says, “if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown. But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!” At 5:40 they agree with him, and summoning the apostles, they beat them, command them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Acts 22:3 reads, in the defense made in the Hebrew language: “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.”

1 Kings

Named at 2 Kings 25:22: “As for the people who were left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.” At 25:23 the captains of the forces hear that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, and come to Gedaliah to Mizpah; at 25:24 Gedaliah swears to them and to their men, and says to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.” At 25:25, in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah comes, and ten men with him, and strikes Gedaliah so that he dies. Jeremiah 39:13–14 says that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon committed Jeremiah to “Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan”; 40:5–6, that Jeremiah was told to go back to Gedaliah, “whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah”, and that Jeremiah went to him to Mizpah and lived with him; 40:9–10, that Gedaliah swore to the captains of the forces and to their men, telling them not to be afraid to serve the Chaldeans but to dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon; and 40:13–16, that he did not believe Johanan the son of Kareah and the captains, and said to Johanan, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.”

Jeremiah

Named at 2 Kings 4:12 as a servant: at 4:11–12 Elisha (WEB “he”) comes there, goes to the room and lies there, and says to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” At 4:14, when Elisha (WEB “He”) says, “What then is to be done for her?”, Gehazi answers, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.” At 4:27, when the woman catches hold of the feet of the man of God, Gehazi comes near to thrust her away; at 4:29–31 Elisha (WEB “he”) says to Gehazi, “Then lay my staff on the child’s face”, and Gehazi goes ahead of them and lays the staff on the child’s face, but there was no voice and no hearing, and he returns to meet Elisha (WEB “him”) and tells him, “The child has not awakened.” At 4:36 Elisha (WEB “He”) calls Gehazi, and says, “Call this Shunammite!” At 5:20 Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God says, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.” At 5:21–24 he follows after Naaman and says, “My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’”; Naaman binds two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and lays them on two of his servants, who carry them before Gehazi (WEB “before him”); and at the hill he takes them from their hand, and stores them in the house. At 5:25 Elisha says to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?”, and he says, “Your servant went nowhere”; at 5:26–27 Elisha (WEB “He”) says, “Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever”, and Gehazi (WEB “He”) goes out from his presence a leper, as white as snow. 2 Kings 8:4–5 says that the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done”; that as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land; and that Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.” In the first words of 8:5 the Korean Revised Version names Gehazi and Elisha (게하시가 곧 엘리사가 죽은 자를 다시 살린 일을 왕에게 이야기할 때에), where WEB says “he” twice.

2 Kings

Named at Numbers 13:12 as the father of Ammiel, one of the spies.

Named at Jeremiah 29:3 as “Gemariah the son of Hilkiah”. 29:1–3 says that the letter Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the captivity went “by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon)”.

Jeremiah

Named at Jeremiah 36:10, where Baruch reads the words of Jeremiah from the book “in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house”. 36:11 names his son Micaiah, who heard out of the book all the LORD’s words, and 36:12 names “Gemariah the son of Shaphan” among all the princes sitting in the scribe’s room. 36:25 says, “Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.” WEB’s “Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe” (36:10) does not say whether “the scribe” is said of Gemariah or of Shaphan; the Korean Revised Version sets 서기관 (the scribe) directly before Gemariah’s name (사반의 아들 서기관 그마랴).

Jeremiah

Named at 1 Kings 11:20 as the son of Hadad the Edomite. At 11:19 Hadad finds great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, “so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.” 11:20 says, “The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.”

1 Kings

Named at Judges 3:15 as the father of Ehud, the savior the LORD raised up for the children of Israel: “Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man”. In both editions “the Benjamite” can go with Gera or with Ehud. This collection keeps him apart from the Gera of Genesis 46.

Will you rebel against the king?’”; and at 2:20 the speaker (“I”) answers them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.” Nehemiah 6:1 says, “Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it”, and 6:2, “Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, ‘Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.’ But they intended to harm me.”

Genesis

Named at Numbers 13:15 as the spy sent from the tribe of Gad, the son of Machi.

Numbers

Named at Judges 6:11 as the son of Joash: the LORD’s angel comes and sits under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while Gideon is beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. At 6:14 the LORD looks at him and says, “Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian. Haven’t I sent you?”, and at 6:24 Gideon builds an altar there to the LORD, and calls it “The LORD is Peace.” At 6:25–28 he takes ten men of his servants and does by night as the LORD had spoken to him, and the altar of Baal is broken down and the Asherah that was by it is cut down; 6:32 says, “Therefore on that day he named him Jerub-Baal, saying, ‘Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.’” At 6:34 the LORD’s Spirit comes on Gideon, and he blows a trumpet, and Abiezer is gathered together to follow him. At 6:36–40 he says to God, “If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I’ll know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,” and it is so; he says again, “Please let me make a trial just this once with the fleece,” and God does so that night. At 7:1–8 Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him encamp beside the spring of Harod; twenty-two thousand of the people return, ten thousand remain, and Gideon retains the three hundred men who lapped. At 7:9–22 he goes down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp, and hears the dream of a cake of barley bread and its interpretation, and he worships; he divides the three hundred men into three companies, and puts into the hands of all of them trumpets and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers; and when they blow the three hundred trumpets, the LORD sets every man’s sword against his fellow and against all the army. At 8:1–3 the men of Ephraim rebuke him sharply, and he says, “God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb! What was I able to do in comparison with you?”, and their anger is abated toward him. At 8:4–21 he passes over the Jordan with the three hundred men and pursues Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian; he takes them, teaches the men of Succoth with thorns of the wilderness and briers, breaks down the tower of Penuel, and arises and kills Zebah and Zalmunna. At 8:22–23 the men of Israel ask him to rule over them, and he says, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. The LORD shall rule over you.” At 8:24–27 he asks each of them for the earrings of his plunder, makes an ephod out of the gold, and puts it in Ophrah, his city; all Israel plays the prostitute with it there, and it becomes a snare to Gideon and to his house. 8:28 says the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon. 8:30–32 says, “Gideon had seventy sons conceived from his body, for he had many wives. His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech. Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.” At 8:35 the children of Israel do not show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.

Give me a man, that we may fight together!” 17:16 says, “The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.” 17:23 has “the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name,” come up out of the ranks of the Philistines and say the same words, and David hears them. At 17:43–44 the Philistine curses David by his gods and says to him, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.” At 17:48–51 David slings a stone and strikes the Philistine in his forehead; the stone sinks into his forehead, and he falls on his face to the earth; so David prevails over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine and kills him, but there is no sword in David’s hand; then David runs, stands over the Philistine, takes his sword, draws it out of its sheath, kills him, and cuts off his head with it. At 17:54 David takes the head of the Philistine and brings it to Jerusalem.

At 11:19–20 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen, and the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son. At 11:21–22, when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.” 11:25 says of Rezon, “He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad.”

At 8:7–8 David takes the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer and brings them to Jerusalem, and King David takes a great quantity of bronze from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer. At 8:9–10 Toi king of Hamath sends Joram his son to King David, “because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi.” The Korean Revised Version makes Hadadezer the one who goes to recover his dominion, 유브라데강으로 (8:3). 2 Samuel 10:15–19 says that when the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel and gathered themselves together, Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head, and that all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer, when they saw that they were defeated before Israel, made peace with Israel and served them.

The Korean Revised Version reads 권면함 (their exhortation) where WEB reads “prophesying” (6:14). Haggai 1:1 says that in the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 1:13, that Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says the LORD; and 2:13–14, that Haggai said, “If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, will it be unclean?”, that the priests answered, “It will be unclean,” and that Haggai answered, “‘So is this people, and so is this nation before me,’ says the LORD”, words that go on to the end of 2:19.

At 3:8–9 Haman says to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain. If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.” At 3:10 the king gives his ring to “Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.” At 3:12–15 all that Haman commanded is written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king’s ring, the decree is given out in the citadel of Susa, and “The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.” At 4:7 Mordecai tells Hathach (WEB “him”) the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the destruction of the Jews. Esther 5:9–14 says that when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai, and that the words of Zeresh his wife and all his friends, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high,” pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made; 6:4–14, that Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him, that he said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honor more than myself?”, that at the king’s word he took the clothing and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, had him ride through the city square and proclaimed before him, and that he hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered; and 7:1–10, that Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!”, and, “So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai.”

Named at Nehemiah 3:8 as one of the perfumers: “Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs, and they fortified Jerusalem even to the wide wall.” The Korean Revised Version reads 향품 장사 하나냐등 (Hananiah the perfumer and others) and 저희가 예루살렘 넓은 성벽까지 하였고 (they did it to the wide wall of Jerusalem).

Nehemiah

Named at Daniel 1:6: “Now among these of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.” At 1:7 the prince of the eunuchs gave names to them, “to Hananiah, Shadrach” (the Korean Revised Version: 하나냐는 사드락이라 하고, Hananiah he called Shadrach). At 1:11–13 Daniel says to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days”. 1:17 says, “Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom”; at 1:19–20, when the king talked with them, among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and the king found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm. At 2:17–18 Daniel makes the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; and 2:49 says, “Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon”, where the Korean Revised Version names the king (왕이). Daniel 3:12 gives, among the words certain Chaldeans said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up”; 3:16–18 says that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up”; 3:19–23, that Nebuchadnezzar commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind them and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace, that they were bound and cast into the middle of the furnace, and, “These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace”; 3:26–27, that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire, and that the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies; and 3:30, “Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.”

Daniel

Named at Jeremiah 28:1 as “Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon”, who “in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month” spoke “to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people”; 28:2 opens his words, “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.’” 28:10 says, “Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.” At 28:15–16 the prophet Jeremiah said to him, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’” 28:17 says, “So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.” The Korean Revised Version names Gibeon before Azzur at 28:1 (기브온 앗술의 아들 선지자 하나냐), and reads 멍에 (yoke) at 28:10, where WEB reads “the bar”.

Jeremiah

Named at Nehemiah 3:30 as the son of Shelemiah: “Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another portion.”

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 7:2 as the governor of the fortress.

Where WEB reads “for he was a faithful man”, the Korean Revised Version names Hananiah (하나냐는 위인이 충성되어).

Nehemiah

2 Chronicles 26:11 places the reckoned army under Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.

2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 1:2 as one of the two wives of Elkanah: “Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.” At 1:5–7 Elkanah gives a double portion to Hannah, but the LORD had shut up her womb; her rival provokes her severely, to irritate her, and she weeps, and doesn’t eat. At 1:10–11 she is in bitterness of soul, and prays to the LORD, weeping bitterly, and vows a vow: “LORD of Armies, if you will indeed look at the affliction of your servant and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.” At 1:13–17 Eli thinks she is drunk, and after her answer he says, “Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.” At 1:20 Hannah conceives, and bears a son; and she names him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.” At 1:22–28 she doesn’t go up, and nurses her son until she weans him; then she brings him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh and says to Eli, “I prayed for this child, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of him. Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” At 2:1–10 Hannah prays, and says, “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. …” At 2:18–19 Samuel ministers before the LORD, being a child, and his mother makes him a little robe, and brings it to him from year to year when she comes up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice; at 2:21 the LORD visits Hannah, and she conceives and bears three sons and two daughters.

Esther 7:9 says, “Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, ‘Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.’ The king said, ‘Hang him on it!’”, where the Korean Revised Version writes the name 하르보나 and has the king name Haman (하만을 그 나무에 달라).

Esther

Named at Nehemiah 3:8 as the father of Uzziel: “Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, goldsmiths, made repairs.” The Korean Revised Version places 금장색 (goldsmith) before Harhaiah’s name and reads 웃시엘등 (Uzziel and others); neither edition says which man was a goldsmith.

Named at 1 Kings 19:15, where the LORD says, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.” At 19:17 the LORD goes on, “He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.” 2 Kings 8:7–15 says that when Elisha came to Damascus, Benhadad the king of Syria, who was sick, said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”, and that Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden. The passage says, “He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.” Hazael says, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answers, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel”; and when Hazael says, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?”, Elisha answers, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.” 8:15 says, “On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place”; the Korean Revised Version names Hazael as the one who dipped the cloth in water (하사엘이 이불을 물에 적시어). At 8:28 one whom the verse does not name (WEB “He”) went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram; 8:29 says that King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. 2 Kings 12:17–18 says that Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and took it, and set his face to go up to Jerusalem; that Jehoash king of Judah took the holy things and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and that he went away from Jerusalem (the Korean Revised Version: 하사엘이 예루살렘에서 떠나갔더라, Hazael went away from Jerusalem). 13:3 says that the LORD delivered Israel into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually; 13:22, “Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz”; and 13:24, “Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.”

1 Kings, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Amos

Named at Nehemiah 11:5 in the line of Maaseiah: “and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.” The Korean Revised Version counts the generations (저는 바룩의 아들이요 골호세의 손자요 …, he is the son of Baruch, the grandson of Colhozeh …) and ends with 실로 사람의 칠대손이라, the seventh generation of the Shilonite, where WEB reads “the son of the Shilonite”.

Named at Judges 4:11: “Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.” The Korean Revised Version reads 모세의 장인 호밥의 자손 중 겐 사람 헤벨: Heber is one of the descendants of Hobab, Moses’ father-in-law, and leaves his own people. At 4:17 Sisera flees to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite, “for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite”, and 4:21 and 5:24 call Jael Heber’s wife. This collection keeps him apart from the Heber of Genesis 46.

Judges

Numbers 3:19 names him a son of Kohath; 3:27 records the family of the Hebronites from him. He shares a name with the city of Hebron and is not it.

Numbers, 1 Chronicles

Named at Esther 2:3 as “Hegai the king’s eunuch, keeper of the women”, in the counsel of the king’s servants that all the beautiful young virgins be gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the women’s house, to his custody.

He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women’s house.” The Korean Revised Version names Hegai there (헤개가 이 처녀를 기뻐하여, Hegai was pleased with the maiden). At 2:15 Esther requires nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised.

Esther

Named at 1 Chronicles 4:5: “Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.” 4:7 says, “The sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan.”

Father of Eliab, named at Numbers 1:9, 2:7, 7:24, 7:29 and 10:16.

Numbers

Person in Genesis 36:20–30: Heman.

Genesis

Named at 1 Chronicles 6:33: “These are those who served, and their sons. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel,” and 6:34–38 go on with his forebears from “the son of Elkanah” to “the son of Levi, the son of Israel.” 6:39 says, “His brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand”; the Korean Revised Version names Heman there (헤만의 형제 아삽은 헤만의 우편에서 직무를 행하였으니, Asaph the brother of Heman ministered on Heman’s right hand), and reads 6:33 헤만은 찬송하는 자라, Heman was a singer. 1 Chronicles 15:16 says that David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers, and 15:17 says, “So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah”; 15:19 says, “So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud”. 1 Chronicles 16:41, after Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests (16:39–40), names “Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever”, and 16:42, “Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God”. 1 Chronicles 25:4 names “the sons of Heman”, and 25:5 says, “All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.” 25:6 says, “All these were under the hands of their father for song in the LORD’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house: Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.” The Korean Revised Version calls Heman’s sons 나팔을 부는 자 (those who blow the trumpet), where WEB reads “to lift up the horn”, and Heman 하나님의 말씀을 받드는 왕의 선견자 (the king’s seer who upholds the words of God).

1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 4:31, where WEB reads “Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol”, and the Korean Revised Version 마홀의 아들 헤만과 갈골과 다르다. 4:30–31 says, “Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men—wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations all around.”

1 Kings

Person in Genesis 36:20–30: Hemdan.

Genesis

Named at Nehemiah 3:18 as the father of Bavvai: “Bavvai the son of Henadad, the ruler of half the district of Keilah made repairs.” Before his name WEB reads “their brothers,”, and the Korean Revised Version 그 형제. 3:24 names Binnui the son of Henadad; the text does not say whether the Henadads of the two verses are one man, and this collection keeps them apart.

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 3:24 as the father of Binnui: “Binnui the son of Henadad repaired another portion, from the house of Azariah to the turning of the wall, and to the corner.” 3:18 names Bavvai the son of Henadad; the text does not say whether the Henadads of the two verses are one man, and this collection keeps them apart.

Nehemiah

Numbers 26:30–32 names him among the sons of Gilead; the family of the Hepherites came from him, and 26:33 and 27:1 name him the father of Zelophehad. The Korean Revised Version gives him the same name as the Heber of 26:45, who is not the same person. Joshua 17:2 gives the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families as the children of Abiezer, of Helek, of Asriel, of Shechem, of Hepher and of Shemida, and calls them “the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.”

Numbers, Joshua

Named at 2 Kings 21:1, which says of Manasseh, “His mother’s name was Hephzibah.” The verse says, “Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.”

2 Kings

Named at 2 Timothy 1:15: “This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.”

2 Timothy

The king of Matthew 2, who summons the wise men and orders the children of Bethlehem killed.

Matthew, Luke

Named at Acts 12:1–2 as King Herod, who about that time stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly, and killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. At 12:3–6, when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also, put him in prison and intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover; at 12:11 Peter, out of the prison, says, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.” At 12:19, when Herod had sought for Peter and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, commanded that they should be put to death, and went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there; at 12:20–23 he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and on an appointed day he dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech; the people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”, and immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod, because he didn’t give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died. This collection records him apart from Herod the tetrarch and from the Herod of Matthew 2, and Acts 12 does not say how they are related.

Acts

Called the tetrarch in Matthew 14:1; 14:3–10 records him imprisoning John and having him beheaded. He shares a name with the Herod of chapter 2, and the text says nothing of how the two are related. Mark 6:14–29 calls him King Herod and says he feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe; at Mark 8:15 Jesus warns the disciples to beware of the yeast of Herod, and the verse does not say which Herod. Luke 3:1 calls him tetrarch of Galilee and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis; at 3:19–20 Herod, reproved by John for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, adds this also to them all, that he shuts up John in prison; and 3:19 does not name that brother. Luke 8:3 names, among the women who were with Jesus, Joanna the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; the verse does not say which Herod. Luke 9:7–9 has Herod the tetrarch hear of all that is being done and be very perplexed, because some say that John has risen from the dead, some that Elijah has appeared, and others that one of the old prophets has risen again; he says, “I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” and seeks to see him. At Luke 13:31 some Pharisees come and say, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you,” and 13:32 gives the answer, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission’”; the verses do not say which Herod. Luke 23:6–12 has Pilate, learning that Jesus is in Herod’s jurisdiction, send him to Herod, who is also in Jerusalem during those days; Herod is exceedingly glad to see Jesus and questions him with many words, but Jesus gives no answers; Herod with his soldiers humiliates and mocks Jesus, dresses him in luxurious clothing and sends him back to Pilate, and Herod and Pilate, enemies before, become friends with each other that very day.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts

Matthew 14:3–8: the woman Herod took, whose daughter is recorded asking for John the Baptizer’s head at her prompting. Mark 6:17–19 calls her the wife of Herod’s brother Philip, whom Herod had married, and says she set herself against John and desired to kill him, but could not. Luke 3:19–20 says that Herod the tetrarch, reproved by John for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, shut up John in prison.

Matthew, Mark, Luke

A name Genesis 10:13–20 lists as a son of Canaan.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 18:1 as the son of Ahaz king of Judah. 18:1–3 says, “Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.” Chapters 18–19 tell that he removed the high places and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, and trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, “so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him”; that he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and when Sennacherib king of Assyria took all the fortified cities of Judah in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish and gave him the silver of the LORD’s house and of the treasures of the king’s house and the gold of the doors of the LORD’s temple and of the pillars. They tell too that when Eliakim came with Shebna and Joah and told him Rabshakeh’s words, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, went into the LORD’s house, and sent to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz; that he spread before the LORD the letter he received from the hand of the messengers, and prayed; and that Isaiah the son of Amoz sent him the LORD’s word. 2 Kings 20:1–3 says that when Hezekiah was sick and dying, Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live’”, and that Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight”, and wept bitterly; 20:4–7 that the LORD’s word came to Isaiah with words for Hezekiah, among them, “I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake”, and that they laid a cake of figs on the boil, and he recovered; 20:8–11 that Hezekiah asked, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I will go up to the LORD’s house the third day?”, and that “Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz” (the Korean Revised Version: 십도, ten degrees); 20:12–19 that when Berodach Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present, Hezekiah showed the men who came from Babylon all the storehouse of his precious things, and that when Isaiah gave him the LORD’s word that all that is in the king’s house will be carried to Babylon, Hezekiah said, “The LORD’s word which you have spoken is good”; and 20:20–21, “Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.” 2 Chronicles 29:1–30:27 says Hezekiah has the LORD’s house cleansed and offerings made, writes to Israel and Judah for a Passover in the second month, and prays for those who had not cleansed themselves. 2 Chronicles 31:2–32:33 says Hezekiah orders the divisions and distribution of offerings, fortifies Jerusalem against Sennacherib and prays with Isaiah, humbles himself after illness and pride, directs Gihon’s water west of David’s city, and dies before Manasseh succeeds him. Isaiah 38:9–20 gives “The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness”, which begins, “I said, ‘In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.’” and ends, “The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.” Matthew 1:9–10 records in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17, “Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh.”

2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Proverbs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Micah, Matthew

Named at 1 Kings 15:18, where King Asa sends the silver and gold “to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus”.

Hezron became the father of Ram,” and Luke 3:33 names him in the genealogy, “the son of Hezron, the son of Perez”.

Named at Nehemiah 11:11 as the father of Seraiah: “Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of God’s house”. The Korean Revised Version sets 하나님의 전을 맡은 자 (who had charge of God’s house) before Seraiah’s name and counts the generations (저는 힐기야의 아들이요 므술람의 손자요 …, he is the son of Hilkiah, the grandson of Meshullam …).

1 Chronicles, Nehemiah

Named at Ezra 7:1 in Ezra’s line, which WEB gives as “Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest” (7:1–5). The Korean Revised Version gives the same line by generations, and calls Ezra 힐기야의 증손이요, the great-grandson of Hilkiah. This collection keeps him apart from Hilkiah the high priest of 2 Kings 22:4, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1 Chronicles, Ezra

Named at 2 Kings 22:4, in what King Josiah says when he sends Shaphan the scribe, as “Hilkiah the high priest”. 22:8 says, “Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, ‘I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.’ Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.” At 22:9–10 Shaphan the scribe comes to the king, and brings the king word again, and tells him, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” At 22:12 the king commands Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant to inquire of the LORD, and 22:14 says, “So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess”. Both editions call him “the high priest” at 22:4 and 22:8 (the Korean Revised Version 대제사장) and “the priest” at 22:10, 22:12 and 22:14 (제사장).

Named at 2 Samuel 5:11 as the king of Tyre: “Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.” 1 Kings 5:1 says that Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, “and Hiram had always loved David”; 5:7–12 that Hiram said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people”, and sent to Solomon, “I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber. My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea”, that Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat and twenty cors of pure oil year by year, and that there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together; and 5:18 that Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut the stones. 1 Kings 9:10–14 says that King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee, Hiram the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold; that Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities, and they didn’t please him, and he said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?”, and called them the land of Cabul; and that Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold; and 9:27, that Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 2 Chronicles 2:3–16 says that Huram king of Tyre answers Solomon’s request in writing and promises a skilled worker and timber from Lebanon. 2 Chronicles 8:2 and 8:18 say Huram gave cities to Solomon and sent ships and servants who knew the sea, who brought gold from Ophir.

2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 7:13–14: “King Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work all works in bronze. He came to King Solomon and performed all his work.” At 7:40–45 Hiram makes the pots, the shovels, and the basins, and finishes all the work that he worked for King Solomon in the LORD’s house, which the verses list: the two pillars with the bowls of their capitals and the two networks, the four hundred pomegranates, the ten bases and the ten basins, the one sea and the twelve oxen under it, the pots, the shovels, and the basins; 7:45 says, “All of these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon for the LORD’s house, were of burnished bronze.” Neither edition calls him king. This collection records him apart from Hiram king of Tyre.

Named at Numbers 10:29 as the son of Reuel the Midianite. When Moses asks him to come with them he answers that he will go to his own land and relatives (10:30), and Moses asks him again (10:31–32). The Korean Revised Version calls Reuel Moses’ father-in-law in 10:29; the English can be read either way.

1 Chronicles

Named at Numbers 26:33 and 27:1 as a daughter of Zelophehad. In 27:1–4 she and her sisters stand at the door of the Tent of Meeting and ask for a possession among their father’s brothers. Numbers 36:10–11 has her and the other daughters of Zelophehad married to their father’s brothers’ sons, as the LORD commanded Moses. Joshua 17:3–6 says that the daughters of Zelophehad came to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the princes, saying, “The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers,” and that according to the commandment of the LORD they were given an inheritance among the brothers of their father.

At 10:16–27 the five kings hide in the cave at Makkedah and are brought out to Joshua, who strikes them, puts them to death, and hangs them on five trees.

Joshua

Named at 1 Samuel 1:3 as one of the two sons of Eli: when Elkanah goes up to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh, “The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.” At 2:34 the LORD’s word that a man of God brings to Eli says, “This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.” 1 Samuel 4:4 says that the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, and that the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God; 4:11 says, “God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain”; and at 4:16–17 he who brought the news answered Eli, “Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”

Numbers

Named at 1 Chronicles 16:38 as a doorkeeper: “and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers”. The Korean Revised Version reads 오벧에돔과 그 형제 육십 팔인과 여두둔의 아들 오벧에돔과 호사로 문지기를 삼았고 (Obed-Edom and his brothers, sixty-eight, and Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, made doorkeepers). 1 Chronicles 26:10 says, “Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief”, with the words “for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him chief” in WEB’s parentheses; 26:11 names “Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth” and ends, “All the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen.” 26:16 says, “To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goes up, watchman opposite watchman.” The Korean Revised Version calls Shimri 장자, the word for the eldest son, where WEB reads “chief”.

1 Chronicles

Named at Hosea 1:1 as the son of Beeri, to whom the LORD’s word came “in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.” 1:2 says, “When the LORD spoke at first by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, ‘Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness’”, and 1:3, “So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.” The Korean Revised Version names him again at 1:4 and 1:6 (여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되), where WEB reads “to him”. The passage 3:1–5 cited here is told in the first person: 3:1 opens “The LORD said to me”, and 3:2 says, “So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley”; no verse of 3:1–5 names the speaker.

Hosea

Named at Nehemiah 12:32: “and after them went Hoshaiah, with half of the princes of Judah”. At 12:31 the speaker (“I”) brings the princes of Judah up on the wall and appoints two great companies who gave thanks, and one goes on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate.

1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 15:30: “Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, attacked him, killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.” The Korean Revised Version puts the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah first (웃시야의 아들 요담 이십년에). 2 Kings 17:1–2 says, “In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him”; 17:3–4, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his servant and brought him tribute, and that “The king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria seized him, and bound him in prison”; and 17:6, “In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria”.

Genesis

Named at 2 Kings 22:14 as “Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe”, to whom Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah go; the verse says, “now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter”. The Korean Revised Version there makes Shallum the keeper of the wardrobe (예복을 주관하는 살룸). At 22:15–17 she says to them, “The LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me’”, and the word she gives includes, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read.” At 22:18–20 the words go on for the king of Judah, who sent them to inquire of the LORD, and include, “I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place”; “So they brought this message back to the king.”

The Korean Revised Version there reads 후람의 아비.

2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 4:16 as the father of Baana: “Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth”. The verse gives him no gentilic or title. This collection keeps him apart from Hushai the Archite of 2 Samuel 15:32, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1 Kings

Named at 2 Samuel 15:32: “When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.” At 15:33–34 David says to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me; but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’” 15:37 says, “So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.” 2 Samuel 16:16–19 says that Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, came to Absalom and said, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”; 17:5–14 that he said to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good”, and gave his own counsel, and that Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; and 17:15 that he said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel that way; and I have counseled this way.”

I am not defecting to the Chaldeans”; and, “But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.” The Korean Revised Version calls him 하나냐의 손자요 셀레먀의 아들인 이리야라 이름하는 문지기의 두목 (the chief of the gatekeepers, named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah and the grandson of Hananiah).

Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Psalms, Jeremiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, James

Named at 2 Kings 19:2 as the prophet, the son of Amoz. At 19:1–2 King Hezekiah tears his clothes, covers himself with sackcloth, goes into the LORD’s house, and sends Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, “to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.” At 19:6–7 Isaiah says to them words that begin, “Tell your master this: ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.”’” At 19:20–34 Isaiah the son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says ‘You have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, and I have heard you.’” and goes on with the word that the LORD has spoken concerning the king of Assyria. 2 Kings 20:1 says that when Hezekiah was sick and dying, Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order; for you will die, and not live’”; 20:4 that before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, the LORD’s word came to him with words for Hezekiah; 20:7–11 that Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs”, asked, “should the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?”, and that “Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz”; and 20:14–18 that Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did these men say? From where did they come to you?” and, “What have they seen in your house?”, and said to him, “Hear the LORD’s word”, with the LORD’s word that all that is in the king’s house will be carried to Babylon. At 20:15 WEB says “He said”, where the Korean Revised Version names Isaiah (이사야가). Isaiah 1:1 reads, “The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.” 2:1 reads, “This is what Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.” The Korean Revised Version reads 2:1 as 받은바 … 말씀, the word he received. Isaiah 7:3 says that the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.” At 7:13, after Ahaz said, “I won’t ask,” the Korean Revised Version names Isaiah as the one who speaks (이사야가 가로되 다윗의 집이여 청컨대 들을찌어다), where WEB reads “He said, ‘Listen now, house of David.’”; and 7:14 goes on, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.” Isaiah 13:1 reads, “The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.” 20:1–2 say, “In the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it; at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, ‘Go, and loosen the sackcloth from off your waist, and take your sandals from off your feet.’ He did so, walking naked and barefoot.” At 20:3 the LORD says, “As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia, …”. The Korean Revised Version calls the burden of 13:1 받은 경고, the burden Isaiah received, where WEB reads “saw”, and at 20:2 has the LORD speak to Isaiah (아모스의 아들 이사야에게 일러 가라사대), where WEB reads “by Isaiah”. Matthew 3:3 and 4:14 name him as the prophet whose words are quoted; he is not present in the scene.

2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans

Named at 2 Samuel 21:16–17: “Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him.”

2 Samuel

Named at 2 Samuel 2:8 as the son of Saul. 2:8–9 says, “Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim. He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel”, and 2:10 says, “Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years.” At 2:12 Abner the son of Ner and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul go out from Mahanaim to Gibeon, and at 2:15 twelve go over for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul. The Korean Revised Version reads the name 아술 at 2:9, where WEB has “the Ashurites”. 2 Samuel 3:7–11 says that Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?”, and that he could not answer Abner another word, because he was afraid of him; 3:13–15 that when David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, “Deliver me my wife Michal”, Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish; 4:5–8 that Rechab and Baanah came to his house, struck him as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, killed him and beheaded him, and brought his head to David to Hebron; and 4:12 that David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 25:23 first among the captains of the forces who come to Gedaliah to Mizpah: “Ishmael the son of Nethaniah”. 25:25 says, “But in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.” The Korean Revised Version places 왕족, of the royal family, before Elishama’s name (왕족 엘리사마의 손자 느다니야의 아들 이스마엘). Jeremiah 41:1–15 says that in the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, where they ate bread together, struck Gedaliah with the sword and killed him, and killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah and the Chaldean men of war who were found there; that he went out to meet the eighty men who came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, killed them when they came into the middle of the city, and cast them into the pit which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, but did not kill ten men who said to him, “Don’t kill us”; and that he carried away captive the people who remained in Mizpah and departed to go over to the children of Ammon, but when Johanan the son of Kareah found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon, the people went to Johanan, and Ishmael escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the children of Ammon.

Leviticus 10:6 has Moses tell Aaron, Eleazar and Ithamar not to let the hair of their heads go loose or tear their clothes, so that they do not die; at 10:16–17 Moses finds that the goat of the sin offering has been burned and is angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, asking why they have not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary. Numbers 3:4 says that Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father, and 4:28 and 4:33 put the service of the Gershonites and of the sons of Merari in the Tent of Meeting under his hand.

Named at 2 Samuel 15:19 as Ittai the Gittite, to whom the king says, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.” At 15:21 Ittai answers the king and says, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.” At 15:22 David says to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passes over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him. 2 Samuel 18:2 says that David sent a third part of the people out under the hand of Ittai the Gittite, and 18:5 that the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.”

May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ God granted him that which he requested.” The Korean Revised Version gives the mother’s words as reported speech (이는 내가 수고로이 낳았다 함이었더라).

This collection keeps him apart from Jabin king of Hazor in Joshua 11:1.

Judges, Psalms

Joshua 11:1 names him king of Hazor. When he heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph, and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west, to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah (11:1–3).

Nehemiah

Named at Judges 4:17 as the wife of Heber the Kenite. At 4:17–21, when Sisera flees on his feet to her tent, Jael goes out to meet him and says, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid”; she opens a container of milk, gives him a drink and covers him, and while he is in a deep sleep, Jael, Heber’s wife, takes a tent peg and a hammer, goes softly to him and strikes the pin into his temples, so that he faints and dies. At 4:22, as Barak pursues Sisera, Jael comes out to meet him and says, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.” At 5:6 the song speaks of “the days of Jael”, and at 5:24 it sings, “Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite.”

Luke 8:41 names him Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue. At 8:41–42 he falls down at Jesus’ feet and begs him to come into his own house, for he has an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she is dying; at 8:49–56, after word comes that she is dead, Jesus comes to the house, takes her by the hand and calls, “Child, arise!”, and her spirit returns and she rises up immediately.

Galatians 1:18–19 give the words of the writer (“I”): “Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayed with him fifteen days. But of the other apostles I saw no one except James, the Lord’s brother.” 2:9 says that James and Cephas and John, “those who were reputed to be pillars”, gave to Barnabas and the writer the right hand of fellowship, and 2:12 speaks of “some people” who “came from James”.

Matthew, Mark, Galatians

Luke 6:16 names him only as the father of Judas, one of the twelve. This collection records him apart from the two men named James whom Luke 6:14–15 lists among the twelve.

Luke, Acts

Named at Acts 12:17: Peter, out of the prison, beckoning with his hand to those gathered in the house of Mary to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, and said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” The verse does not say which James he is. At Acts 15:12–21, after the multitude has listened to Barnabas and Paul and they are silent, James answers, “Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name. This agrees with the words of the prophets,” and says, “my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God, but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.” Acts 21:18 says, “The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present”; at 21:19–20 Paul greets them and reports one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry, and they, when they hear it, glorify God.

Acts

One of the twelve in Matthew 10:3. He shares a name with James son of Zebedee and is not the same person.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts

Son of Zebedee, called with his brother John in Matthew 4:21. Mark 3:17 says that when Jesus appointed the twelve he gave James the son of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder. Mark 5:37–38 has Jesus let no one follow him to the synagogue ruler’s house except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. Mark 9:2 has Jesus take him up a high mountain with Peter and John, and 10:35–41 has James and John, the sons of Zebedee, ask to sit one at his right hand and one at his left in his glory, and the ten become indignant toward the two. Mark 13:3 has him ask Jesus privately on the Mount of Olives, with Peter, John and Andrew, and at 14:33 Jesus takes him with Peter and John at Gethsemane. Luke 5:9–11 says that Simon Peter was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish, and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive,” and when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Jesus. Luke 9:28 has Jesus take Peter, John and James up onto the mountain to pray; at 9:52–55, when Jesus is not received in a village of the Samaritans, James and John ask, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”, and Jesus turns and rebukes them. John 21:1–2 names the sons of Zebedee among those who were together when Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, with Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and two others of Jesus’ disciples, without naming the sons one by one, and this collection takes those verses as evidence for this entry, a son of Zebedee. Acts 1:12–14 says that Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, having returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, went up into the upper room where they were staying, and that all these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with Jesus’ brothers; two of the men who were there are called James, and this collection takes the one named after John to be this entry. Acts 12:1–2 says that about that time King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly, and killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

At 10:16–27 the five kings hide in the cave at Makkedah and are brought out to Joshua, who strikes them, puts them to death, and hangs them on five trees.

Joshua

1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 23:32, where WEB reads “the sons of Jashen, Jonathan”, setting his sons, whom it does not name, beside Jonathan; the Korean Revised Version reads 야센의 아들 요나단, Jonathan the son of Jashen.

At 11:12 the Korean Revised Version has Jehoiada bring out the king’s son, crown him, give him 율법 책, the book of the law, and anoint him and make him king (여호야다가 왕자를 인도하여 내어 …), where WEB reads “Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him”. At 11:15 Jehoiada the priest commands the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and says to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” 11:17 says, “Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD’s people; also between the king and the people.” 12:2 says that Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him; at 12:7 King Jehoash calls for Jehoiada the priest (the Korean Revised Version: 대제사장 여호야다, Jehoiada the high priest), and for the other priests; and at 12:9 Jehoiada the priest takes a chest and bores a hole in its lid, and sets it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house. 2 Chronicles 23:1–24:16 says Jehoiada covenants with captains, establishes Joash as king, works with him to repair the temple, and dies at one hundred thirty before burial among the kings in David’s city.

His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.” At 24:1 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes up in Jehoiakim’s days (WEB “In his days”), and Jehoiakim becomes his servant for three years, then turns and rebels against him; at 24:2 the LORD sends against Jehoiakim (WEB “against him”) bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sends them against Judah to destroy it. 24:6 says, “So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place”, and 24:19 that Zedekiah did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, “according to all that Jehoiakim had done.” Jeremiah 26:20 says that Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim prophesied in the LORD’s name, and 26:21–23 say, “When Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt. Then Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt. They fetched Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.” Jeremiah 36:21–23 says that Jehudi read the scroll in the hearing of the king and of all the princes who stood beside the king, and, “When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier”; 36:25–26, that the king would not listen to Elnathan, Delaiah and Gemariah, and commanded to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; and 36:32 calls the words Baruch wrote again “all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire”.

2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah, Daniel

Named at 2 Kings 10:15 as the son of Rechab. When Jehu has departed from there (WEB “When he had departed from there”; the Korean Revised Version names Jehu), he meets Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; he greets him, and says to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answers, “It is.” Neither edition names who then says, “If it is, give me your hand.” The text goes on, “He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot. He said, ‘Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.’” The Korean Revised Version names Jehu as the one who takes him up into the chariot (예후가 끌어 병거에 올리며). 10:23 says, “Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal.” Jeremiah 35:6–10 says that the sons of the house of the Rechabites said, “We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, neither you nor your children, forever. You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’” They add that they have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab their father commanded them.

2 Kings, Jeremiah

Named at 2 Kings 1:17, which says of the king who died according to the LORD’s word which Elijah had spoken, “Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.” 3:1 says, “Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years”, and 3:2–3, “He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made. Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.” At 3:6–7 King Jehoram goes out of Samaria, musters all Israel, and sends to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” At 3:9–13 the king of Israel goes with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and when there is no water he says, “Alas! For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab”; and Elisha says to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The Korean Revised Version puts the words that the king had no son before the accession at 1:17: 저가 아들이 없으므로 여호람이 대신하여 왕이 되니 (because he had no son, Jehoram reigned in his place). 2 Kings 8:16 says that Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign “In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel”, and 8:25 that Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign “In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel”. At 8:28–29 the Syrians wound Joram, and King Joram returns to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria; and Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, goes down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. 8:28 does not name the one who went with Joram to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead (WEB “He”, the Korean Revised Version 저가). In these verses the Korean Revised Version calls him 요람, Joram, and WEB Joram and King Joram. 2 Kings 9:14–15 says, when Jehu conspires against Joram, “Now Joram was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria; but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria”, and 9:16, “for Joram lay there.” At 9:21 Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah go out, each in his chariot, to meet Jehu, and find him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land; at 9:22 Joram says, “Is it peace, Jehu?”, and the answer is, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?” At 9:23–24 Joram turns his hands and flees, and says to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”, and Jehu draws his bow with his full strength, and strikes Joram between his arms; the arrow goes out at his heart, and he sinks down in his chariot. At 9:25–26 Jehu tells Bidkar his captain to pick him up and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.

Named at 1 Kings 22:50: “Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city.

He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem”, and 8:18, “He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.” 8:20–21 says that in his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves, and that Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots. 8:23 asks, “The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?”, and 8:24 says, “Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.” Wherever these verses name him, the Korean Revised Version calls him 여호람, Jehoram; WEB calls him Jehoram at 8:16 and Joram at 8:21, 8:23 and 8:24. 2 Chronicles 21:1–20: Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat kills his brothers after inheriting the throne and forsakes the LORD. Edom and Libnah revolt, Elijah’s letter warns of calamity, and after a Philistine and Arabian raid he dies of illness and is buried outside the kings’ tombs in David’s city.

When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi”; and 9:14 says, “So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram.” In both verses the Korean Revised Version reads 님시의 손자 여호사밧의 아들 예후, Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the grandson of Nimshi.

Named at 1 Kings 15:24, where Asa sleeps with his fathers, “and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.” 1 Kings 22:2–33 says that in the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel and said to him, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word”, that the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead, that the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes”, and that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!”, and came over to fight against him, Jehoshaphat cried out, and they turned back from pursuing him; and 22:41–50 that Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel, being thirty-five years old, and reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem, that his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi, that Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel, that the ships of Tarshish he made to go to Ophir for gold wrecked at Ezion Geber, that when Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to him, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships”, Jehoshaphat would not, and that Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 2 Kings 3:6–7 says that King Jehoram sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?”, and that Jehoshaphat said (3:7 does not name him: WEB “He said”), “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses”; 3:9–12 that when there was no water, Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?”, and said of Elisha, “The LORD’s word is with him”; and 3:13–14 that Elisha said to the king of Israel, “were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.” 2 Chronicles 19:1–20:37 records Jehoshaphat hearing Jehu’s rebuke, appointing judges, praying to the LORD when faced with an invasion, and later the wrecking of ships he built with Ahaziah. Matthew 1:8 records in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17, “Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram.”

1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Matthew

The Korean Revised Version has Jehosheba hide him and his nurse in the bedroom (저와 그 유모를 침실에 숨겨).

2 Kings

Named at 2 Kings 12:21 as the son of Shomer. 12:20–21 says that Joash’s servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla: “For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died”.

Seraiah became the father of Jehozadak.” 6:15 says, “Jehozadak went into captivity when the LORD carried Judah and Jerusalem away by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.” The Korean Revised Version reads 6:15 여호와께서 느부갓네살의 손으로 유다와 예루살렘 백성을 옮기실 때에 여호사닥도 갔었더라, with 백성 (people) after Jerusalem, and says only that Jehozadak also went (갔었더라), without “into captivity”.

The text does not say that Jehu told that word to Baasha. At 16:7 the Korean Revised Version has the word come to the prophet Jehu (선지자 예후에게 임하사).

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 19:16, where the LORD says, “Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel”. At 19:17 the LORD goes on, “He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.” 2 Kings 9:1–3 says that Elisha the prophet told one of the sons of the prophets to go to Ramoth Gilead, find “Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi”, and pour the vial of oil on his head; at 9:4–10 the young man, the young prophet, goes to Ramoth Gilead, pours the oil on Jehu’s head, and speaks words that begin, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel. You must strike your master Ahab’s house’”. The Korean Revised Version calls Jehu 님시의 손자, the grandson of Nimshi, at 9:2, 9:14 and 9:20, where WEB reads “Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi” (9:2, 9:14) and “Jehu the son of Nimshi” (9:20). At 9:11–13, when Jehu comes out to the servants of his lord, they blow the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.” 9:14–24 say that Jehu conspired against Joram and struck Joram between his arms; 9:27, that he followed after Ahaziah the king of Judah, who fled, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!”, and that Ahaziah fled to Megiddo, and died there; and 9:30–33, that when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel was thrown down. 10:1–11 say that after Jehu’s letters the king’s seventy sons were killed and their heads sent in baskets to him to Jezreel, and that Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel; 10:12–14, that the brothers of Ahaziah were killed at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men; and 10:15–17, that Jehu took Jehonadab the son of Rechab up into the chariot and struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria (the Korean Revised Version names Jehu there, where WEB reads “he”). 10:18–27 say that Jehu, doing deceptively, said, “I have a great sacrifice to Baal”, that all the worshipers of Baal came and filled the house of Baal, and that he said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” At 10:30 the LORD says to Jehu, “your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation”; 10:29 and 10:31 say that Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan; and 10:35–36, that Jehu slept with his fathers and they buried him in Samaria, and that the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.

1 Kings, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Hosea

Named at Jeremiah 37:3 as “Jehucal the son of Shelemiah”, whom Zedekiah the king sent with Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.” 38:1 names “Jucal the son of Shelemiah” among those who heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, and 38:4 says that the princes then said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death”. The two verses spell the name otherwise (the Korean Revised Version 여후갈 and 유갈, WEB Jehucal and Jucal) and give the same father, Shelemiah; this collection records the two names as one man.

Jeremiah

Named at Jeremiah 36:14 as “Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi”, whom all the princes sent to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” 36:21 says, “So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.” 36:23 says, “When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.” The Korean Revised Version counts his generations (구시의 증손 셀레먀의 손자 느다냐의 아들 여후디: Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the grandson of Shelemiah, the great-grandson of Cushi).

Jeremiah

2 Chronicles 35:9 names Jeiel among the Levite chiefs giving Passover offerings to Levites.

WEB does not name him here. The Korean Revised Version does (기브온의 조상 여이엘은 기브온에 거하였으니, Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon), and does not count Mikloth among his sons (미글롯은 시므아를 낳았으며, Mikloth became the father of Shimeah). 1 Chronicles 9:35 names him in both editions: “Jeiel the father of Gibeon, whose wife’s name was Maacah, lived in Gibeon.”

Genesis, Exodus

Judges 11:1 says, “Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor. He was the son of a prostitute. Gilead became the father of Jephthah.” At 11:2–3 the sons of Gilead’s wife drive him out, and he flees from his brothers and lives in the land of Tob; at 11:4–11, when the children of Ammon make war against Israel, the elders of Gilead go to get him out of the land of Tob, and the people make him head and chief over them. At 11:12–28 he sends messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, who doesn’t listen; at 11:29–33 the LORD’s Spirit comes on him, he vows a vow to the LORD, and the LORD delivers the children of Ammon into his hand. At 11:34–40 his daughter comes out to meet him when he comes to Mizpah to his house, and 11:39 says he did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. At 12:4 he gathers together all the men of Gilead and fights with Ephraim, and 12:7 says Jephthah judged Israel six years, died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.

2 Kings, Jeremiah

Named at Jeremiah 1:1 as the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. 1:2–3 say that the LORD’s word came to him “in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign”, and “also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah”; the passage 1:4–10 that follows is told in the first person and opens, “Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.’” No verse of 1:4–10 names the speaker. Jeremiah 19:14–20:3 says that Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, stood in the court of the LORD’s house and spoke to all the people; that Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the LORD’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, and released him on the next day; and that Jeremiah then said to Pashhur, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.” Jeremiah 26:7–8 says, “The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the LORD’s house. When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, ‘You shall surely die!’” At 26:11 the priests and the prophets said to the princes and to all the people, “This man is worthy of death”, and at 26:16 the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.” 26:24 says, “But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.” Jeremiah 32:2–3 says that when the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem, “Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house”, for Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up; and 32:6–12, in the first-person telling that opens “Jeremiah said,” that Jeremiah bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel his uncle’s son, weighed him seventeen shekels of silver, and delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah. Jeremiah 37:11–16 says that he was seized in Benjamin’s gate by Irijah, a captain of the guard, brought to the princes, struck, and put in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; 37:21, that Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed him into the court of the guard; 38:6–13, that he was thrown into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, and that Ebedmelech the Ethiopian took men with him and they lifted him up out of the dungeon with cords; 38:28, that he stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken; 39:13–14, that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard and those with him took him out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; and 40:1–6, that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard let him go from Ramah and gave him food and a present, and that he went to Gedaliah to Mizpah and lived with him among the people. Jeremiah 43:1–7 says that when Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah and all the proud men said to him, “You speak falsely,” and that Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, with Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah, and came into the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes. Matthew 2:17 names him as the prophet Jeremiah whose words are quoted; he is not present in the scene.

2 Chronicles, Ezra, Jeremiah, Daniel, Matthew

Named at 1 Chronicles 27:19 among the rulers over the tribes of Israel (27:16): “of Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel”. 27:22 closes, “These were the captains of the tribes of Israel.”

1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Chronicles 23:19: “The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.” 24:23 names him again: “The sons of Hebron: Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.” The Korean Revised Version calls him 장자 (the firstborn) at 24:23, where WEB has no such word. 1 Chronicles 26:31 says, “Of the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to their generations by fathers’ households. They were sought for in the fortieth year of the reign of David, and mighty men of valor were found among them at Jazer of Gilead.” 26:32 goes on, “His relatives, men of valor, were two thousand seven hundred, heads of fathers’ households, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.” The Korean Revised Version writes the name 여리야.

1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 13:13: “Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.” The Korean Revised Version tells the burial first and then 여로보암이 그 위에 앉으니라, Jeroboam sat on his throne. The verse does not call Jeroboam Joash’s son. 2 Kings 14:16 says that Jehoash slept with his fathers, “and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place”; 14:23–24, “In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.” At 14:25, where the Korean Revised Version names Jeroboam (여로보암이) and WEB says “He”, the text says, “He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher”; and 14:26–27 says, “For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel. The LORD didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.” 14:28 speaks of his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel; and 14:29 says, “Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.” Amos 7:10–11 says that Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. For Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”

2 Kings, Hosea, Amos

Named at 1 Kings 11:26: “Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.” 11:27–28 say, “This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city. The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor of the house of Joseph.” At 11:29–39, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way; Ahijah, who had clad himself with a new garment, tore it in twelve pieces, and said to Jeroboam words that open, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you’”. At 11:40 Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 1 Kings 12:2–3 says that Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had fled from the presence of King Solomon, was yet in Egypt when he heard of it, that they sent and called him, and that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam; 12:20 that when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they called him to the congregation and made him king over all Israel; 12:25, “Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it; and he went out from there and built Penuel”; 12:28–29 that the king made two calves of gold, and set the one in Bethel and put the other in Dan; 12:32–33 that Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, and went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel to burn incense; 13:4 that when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!”, and his hand dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself; and 13:33–34 that after this thing Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, and that this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam. 1 Kings 14:1–3 says that when Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick, Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognized as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would be king over this people”; 14:6–11 that Ahijah told Jeroboam’s wife, “Go, tell Jeroboam”, and gave her the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, which says, among other things, “therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is all gone”; 14:17 that Jeroboam’s wife came to Tirzah, and as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died; and 14:20 that “The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years; then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.” 2 Chronicles 10:2–13:20 says Jeroboam joins Israel’s petition to Rehoboam, casts the Levites off from the priestly office, fights Abijah and loses, and dies without recovering strength in Abijah’s days.

1 Kings, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 1:1 as the father of Elkanah: “his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.”

1 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at Nehemiah 11:12 as the father of Adaiah: “and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah”. The Korean Revised Version counts the generations (저는 여로함의 아들이요 블라야의 손자요 …, he is the son of Jeroham, the grandson of Pelaliah …) and writes Pelaliah’s name 블라야.

Nehemiah

Named at 2 Samuel 11:21, in Joab’s charge to the messenger, among the words he says the king may ask: “Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth?” Both editions give Abimelech’s father this name in this verse (여룹베셋 in the Korean, Jerubbesheth in WEB). This collection gives the name an entry of its own and does not decide whether he is the one Judges names as Abimelech’s father, Jerubbaal.

2 Samuel

Named at 2 Kings 15:32–33, which says that Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign, and that “His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.”

Nehemiah

Named at Ezra 8:19 as “Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari”: after “they brought us” of 8:18 the verse reads, “and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty”. The Korean Revised Version reads 하사뱌와 므라리 자손 중 여사야와 그 형제와 저의 아들들 이십명, Hashabiah and Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari and his brothers and their sons, twenty.

Ezra

Named at Nehemiah 3:19 as the father of Ezer: “Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, repaired another portion across from the ascent to the armory at the turning of the wall.” The Korean Revised Version has no word for “the ascent” (군기고 맞은편, across from the armory).

Nehemiah

Named at Ezra 8:33 as the father of Jozabad: “On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.” The Korean Revised Version sets 레위 사람 (Levite) before 예수아 (레위 사람 예수아의 아들 요사밧), where WEB puts “the Levites” after both Jozabad and Noadiah.

Ezra

Named at Ezra 2:1–2, after Zerubbabel, among those with whom the people came: “Now these are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city; who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Baanah.” Ezra 3:2 says, “Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the priests and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his relatives, and built the altar of the God of Israel”; 3:8, that Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD’s house; 4:1–3, that Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel said to the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin, “You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God”; and 5:2, “Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build God’s house which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.” Nehemiah 12:1 says, “Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua”; 12:7 closes the names of the priests, “These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua”; 12:10 says, “Jeshua became the father of Joiakim”; and 12:26 names “Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak” (the Korean Revised Version 요사닥의 손자 예수아의 아들 요야김, Joiakim, Jozadak’s grandson, Jeshua’s son).

Ezra, Nehemiah

Ruth 4:17 names him “Jesse, the father of David,” and 4:22 says, “Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.” At 1 Samuel 16:1 the LORD says to Samuel, “I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.” At 16:4–11 Samuel comes to Bethlehem, sanctifies Jesse and his sons, and calls them to the sacrifice; Jesse makes seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and says, “There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep.” At 16:19–20 Saul sends messengers to Jesse, and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep,” and Jesse takes a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sends them by David his son to Saul. 17:12 says, “Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul”; 17:13 names the three oldest sons of Jesse, who had gone after Saul to the battle, Eliab the firstborn, Abinadab and Shammah, and 17:14 says that David was the youngest. At 17:17–20 Jesse tells David his son to carry parched grain and loaves to the camp to his brothers, and David goes as Jesse had commanded him and comes to the place of the wagons; at 17:58 David says to Saul, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.” 1 Chronicles 2:12 says, “Obed became the father of Jesse”, and 2:13–16 go on, “Jesse became the father of his firstborn Eliab, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third, Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, Ozem the sixth, and David the seventh; and their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail.” Matthew 1:5–6 and Luke 3:32 also name him in the genealogy, and Acts 13:22 gives Paul’s words “David the son of Jesse”.

1 Kings, 1 Chronicles

Named at Judges 8:20 as Gideon’s firstborn: “He said to Jether his firstborn, ‘Get up and kill them!’ But the youth didn’t draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.” At 8:21 Gideon arises, and kills Zebah and Zalmunna.

Named at 1 Kings 16:31 as the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians: at 16:30–31 Ahab the son of Omri “took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.” 18:4 says, “for when Jezebel cut off the LORD’s prophets, Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water”, and at 18:13 Obadiah says (18:9, where these words begin, does not name the speaker: WEB “He said”), “Wasn’t it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the LORD’s prophets, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD’s prophets with fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?” At 18:19 Elijah asks Ahab to gather to Mount Carmel “four hundred fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table”; the Korean Revised Version puts 이세벨의 상에서 먹는 (who eat at Jezebel’s table) before the prophets of Baal. 1 Kings 19:1–2 says that Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword, and that Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!” 1 Kings 21:5–7 says that Jezebel said, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite”; 21:8–15 that the elders and the nobles who lived with Naboth did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them, and proclaimed a fast, and that when Naboth had been stoned, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money”; 21:23 that “The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel’”; and 21:25 that “there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.” At 2 Kings 9:6–10 the young prophet’s words to Jehu give the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, “that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel”, and “The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.” At 9:22 Joram says, “Is it peace, Jehu?”, and the answer is, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?” 9:30 says, “When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window”, and 9:31, “As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, ‘Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?’”; the Korean Revised Version names no speaker there. At 9:32–33 Jehu (WEB “He”) lifts up his face to the window, and says, “Who is on my side? Who?”; two or three eunuchs look out at him; at “Throw her down!” they throw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he tramples her under foot. At 9:34–35 he says, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter”, and they go to bury her, but they find no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands. At 9:36–37 he says, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel, and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”

1 Kings, 2 Kings

Named at Revelation 2:20, in the words to write to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira: “you tolerate your woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess.

The Korean Revised Version names Hosea at 1:4 (여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되), where WEB reads “to him”, and has no “him” at 1:3 (저가 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매).

Hosea

Named at 1 Samuel 26:6, where WEB calls Abishai “the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab”; the Korean Revised Version reads 스루야의 아들 요압의 아우 아비새, calling Abishai Joab’s younger brother, with 스루야의 아들 (the son of Zeruiah) standing before Joab. 2 Samuel 2:13–14 says that Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants met Abner the son of Ner and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul by the pool of Gibeon, and that when Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!”, Joab said, “Let them arise!”; 2:18 says that the three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, were there; at 2:24–27 Joab and Abishai pursue Abner, and when Abner calls to Joab, Joab says, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother”; and at 2:30–32 Joab returns from following Abner and gathers all the people together, and Joab and his men go all night, and the day breaks on them at Hebron. 2 Samuel 3:22–27 says that when Joab came from a raid, they told him that Abner the son of Ner had come to the king and gone in peace; that Joab came to the king and said, “You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you”; and that when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother. 2 Samuel 10:7–14 says that David sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men, and Joab put the choice men of Israel in array against the Syrians and committed the rest of the people into the hand of Abishai his brother, and that Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him; 11:1–25 says that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they besieged Rabbah, that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah, and Joab assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were, that when the men of the city went out and fought with Joab, Uriah the Hittite died also, and that Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war. 2 Samuel 14:1–3 says that Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom, sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there, and put the words in her mouth; 14:19 that the woman answered the king, “for your servant Joab urged me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your servant”; 14:21–23 that the king said to Joab, “Go therefore, and bring the young man Absalom back”, and Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem; and 14:30–33 that when Absalom’s servants set Joab’s field on fire, Joab came to Absalom to his house, and afterward came to the king and told him. 2 Samuel 18:2 says that David sent a third part of the people out under the hand of Joab; 18:10–15 that when a certain man told Joab, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak”, Joab said, “I’m not going to wait like this with you”, took three darts in his hand and thrust them through Absalom’s heart while he was still alive in the middle of the oak, and ten young men who bore Joab’s armor surrounded and struck Absalom, and killed him; 18:16 that Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; and 18:20–21 that he said to Ahimaaz, “today you must carry no news, because the king’s son is dead”, and to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen!” 2 Samuel 19:5–7 gives what Joab said when he came into the house to the king, ending, “Now therefore arise, go out and speak to comfort your servants; for I swear by the LORD, if you don’t go out, not a man will stay with you this night. That would be worse to you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now”; 20:8–10 says that at the great stone which is in Gibeon Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?”, and took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him, and that Amasa, who took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand, was struck with it in the body and died; 20:15–22 that all the people who were with Joab battered the wall of Abel of Beth Maacah to throw it down, that a wise woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall”, and that they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it out to Joab, and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king; and 20:23 that “Joab was over all the army of Israel”. 2 Samuel 24:2–9 says that the king said to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people”; that Joab said, “why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”, yet the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army; and that when they had gone back and forth through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days, and Joab gave up the sum of the counting of the people to the king. 1 Kings 1:7 says that Joab the son of Zeruiah and Abiathar the priest followed Adonijah and helped him; 2:5–6 that David spoke to Solomon of what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and said, “Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace”; and 2:28–34 that when this news came to Joab, Joab fled to the LORD’s Tent and held onto the horns of the altar, and that Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, whom Solomon sent, went up and fell on him, and killed him, and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. 1 Chronicles 11:6 says, “David had said, ‘Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.’ Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief”; and 11:8 says that Joab repaired the rest of the city. 1 Chronicles 27:24 says, “Joab the son of Zeruiah began to take a census, but didn’t finish; and wrath came on Israel for this. The number wasn’t put into the account in the chronicles of King David.” 27:34 says, “Joab was the captain of the king’s army.”

1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 11:2 as “Joash the son of Ahaziah”. At 11:2–3 Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, steals him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and puts them in the bedroom; they hide him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain; and he was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years. At 11:4, in the seventh year, Jehoiada shows the captains over hundreds the king’s son, and at 11:12 the king’s son is brought out and crowned and given the covenant, and they make him king and anoint him (the Korean Revised Version has Jehoiada anoint him and make him king: 여호야다가 … 기름을 부어 왕을 삼으매). 11:21 says, “Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.” 12:1–2 says that Jehoash began to reign in the seventh year of Jehu, and reigned forty years in Jerusalem, that his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba, and that he did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. At 12:4–5 Jehoash tells the priests to repair the damage to the house with the money brought into the LORD’s house; 12:6–7 says that in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash the priests had not repaired the damage to the house, and that King Jehoash then called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, “Why aren’t you repairing the damage to the house?” At 12:17–18, when Hazael king of Syria sets his face to go up to Jerusalem, Jehoash king of Judah takes the holy things that his fathers had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the LORD’s house, and of the king’s house, and sends it to Hazael king of Syria. At 12:20–21 his servants arise and make a conspiracy, and strike Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla; Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, strike him, and he dies; and they bury him with his fathers in David’s city; and Amaziah his son reigns in his place. WEB calls him Jehoash from 11:21 to 12:18 and Joash from 12:19; the Korean Revised Version writes 요아스 throughout. 2 Chronicles 22:11–24:27: Joash son of Ahaziah is rescued by Jehoshabeath and crowned through Jehoiada. He restores the temple, but after Jehoiada dies he listens to the princes and orders the death of Jehoiada’s son Zechariah. After a Syrian raid he is killed on his bed by conspiring servants, and Amaziah succeeds him.

2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 13:9: “Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.” 13:10–11 says, “In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.” 13:12–13 names the rest of the acts of Joash and “his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah”, and says, “Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.” At 13:14, when Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died, Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” At 13:15–19 Elisha says to him, “Take bow and arrows”, and he takes bow and arrows; Elisha says, “Shoot!”, and he shoots; and when he is told, “Strike the ground”, he strikes three times, and stops, and the man of God is angry with him, and says, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.” 13:25 says, “Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.” The Korean Revised Version names the king 요아스 (Joash) throughout; at 13:25 it reads 두어 성읍, a few cities, which 자기 부친 여호아하스가 전쟁 중에 빼앗겼던 것이라, his father Jehoahaz had lost in the war. 2 Kings 14:8 says that Amaziah sent messengers “to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, ‘Come, let’s look one another in the face.’” 14:9–10 says that Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?” 14:11–14 says that when Amaziah would not listen, Jehoash king of Israel went up; that he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah; and that Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah at Beth Shemesh, broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits, took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. 14:15–16 speaks of the rest of the acts of Jehoash, his might, “and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah”, and says, “Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.” The Korean Revised Version writes 요아스, Joash, in these verses.

Named at Judges 6:11: “The LORD’s angel came and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites.” At 6:25 the LORD says to Gideon, “Take your father’s bull, even the second bull seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, …” At 6:30–31 the men of the city say to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it,” and Joash says to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar!” At 8:32 Gideon the son of Joash dies in a good old age, and is buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Acts

Son of Zebedee, called with his brother James in Matthew 4:21. He shares a name with John the Baptizer of chapter 3 and is not the same person. Mark 3:17 says that when Jesus appointed the twelve he gave James the son of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder. Mark 5:37–38 has Jesus let no one follow him to the synagogue ruler’s house except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. Mark 9:2 has Jesus take him up a high mountain with Peter and James; at 9:38 he tells Jesus that they forbade someone who does not follow them from casting out demons in his name, and at 10:35–41 he and James ask to sit at his right hand and his left in his glory. Mark 13:3 has him ask Jesus privately on the Mount of Olives, with Peter, James and Andrew, and at 14:33 Jesus takes him with Peter and James at Gethsemane. Luke 5:9–11 says that Simon Peter was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish, and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid.

Luke 9:28 has Jesus take Peter, John and James up onto the mountain to pray; at 9:49–50 John says, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us,” and Jesus says, “Don’t forbid him”; at 9:52–55, when Jesus is not received in a village of the Samaritans, James and John ask whether they should command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, and Jesus turns and rebukes James and John. Luke 22:8–13 has Jesus send Peter and John to prepare the Passover, and the two go, find things as Jesus had told them, and prepare the Passover. John 21:1–2 names the sons of Zebedee among those who were together when Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias, with Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and two others of Jesus’ disciples, without naming the sons one by one, and this collection takes those verses as evidence for this entry, a son of Zebedee. Acts 1:12–13 names John among those who returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet and went up into the upper room where they were staying; at 3:1–4 Peter and John are going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, and when a man lame from his mother’s womb, laid at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, sees them and asks to receive gifts for the needy, Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, says, “Look at us”; at 3:11 the man who was healed holds on to Peter and John, and all the people run together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s; and at 4:18–20, called and commanded not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus, Peter and John answer, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves, for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.” Acts 8:14–17 says that when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, and when Peter and John laid their hands on them, they received the Holy Spirit; and 8:25 says that Peter and John, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans. Acts 12:1–2 names James, whom King Herod killed with the sword, as the brother of John.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

Named at Acts 12:12 and 12:25 as John who was called Mark. At 12:12 Peter, out of the prison, comes to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, and at 12:25 Barnabas and Saul return to Jerusalem when they have fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark. At 13:5 Barnabas and Saul have John as their attendant when they proclaim God’s word in the Jewish synagogues at Salamis, and at 13:13, when Paul and his company come to Perga in Pamphylia, John departs from them and returns to Jerusalem. Acts 13:5 and 13:13 say only John, and this collection takes the John of those verses to be John who was called Mark, whom Barnabas and Saul took with them at 12:25. At Acts 15:37–39 Barnabas plans to take John, who was called Mark, with them also, but Paul doesn’t think that it is a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work; the contention grows so sharp that Paul and Barnabas separate from each other, and Barnabas takes Mark with him and sails away to Cyprus.

Acts

Matthew 3:1 records him preaching in the wilderness of Judea; he baptizes Jesus in 3:13–17, and 4:12 records his arrest. Mark 1:4–8 has him baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins, baptizing people in the Jordan river, and preaching that one mightier than he comes after him, who will baptize in the Holy Spirit. Mark 6:17–29 tells that Herod had him arrested and bound in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because John had told Herod it was not lawful for him to have his brother’s wife; at Herod’s birthday supper the daughter of Herodias asked for John’s head, the king sent a soldier of his guard who beheaded him in the prison, and his disciples took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb. At Mark 11:30–32 Jesus asks the chief priests, the scribes and the elders whether the baptism of John was from heaven or from men, and they fear the people, for all hold John to really be a prophet. Luke 1:11–17 has an angel of the Lord appear to the priest Zacharias and tell him that his wife Elizabeth will bear him a son, whom he shall call John, and that the son will go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah; at 1:57–80 Elizabeth gives birth to a son, on the eighth day she says, “Not so; but he will be called John,” and Zacharias writes on a tablet, “His name is John,” and the child grows and becomes strong in spirit, and is in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel. Luke 3:2–3 says that during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness, and John came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins; 3:7–14 gives what he said to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, that they should produce fruits worthy of repentance, and his answers when the multitudes, the tax collectors and the soldiers asked what they must do; 3:15–17 gives his answer, when all men reasoned in their hearts whether he was the Christ, that one mightier than he comes; and 3:19–20 says that Herod the tetrarch, reproved by John for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, shut up John in prison. Luke 7:18–20 has John’s disciples tell him about all these things, and John send two of his disciples to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”; at 7:24–28, when John’s messengers have departed, Jesus tells the multitudes that John is much more than a prophet, and that among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer. Luke 9:7–9 has Herod the tetrarch very perplexed because it is said by some that John has risen from the dead, and Herod says, “I beheaded John”; at 11:1 one of Jesus’ disciples asks, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.” John 1:6–8 says that there came a man sent from God, whose name was John, who came as a witness, that he might testify about the light; at 1:19–28, when the Jews send priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”, John declares, “I am not the Christ,” and says, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said,” and these things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing; at 1:29–36 John sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”, and again, the next day, standing with two of his disciples, he looks at Jesus as he walks and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”; 3:23–24 says that John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim and was not yet thrown into prison; and at 3:25–30, after a dispute on the part of John’s disciples with some Jews about purification, they come to John and say, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him,” and in John’s answer are the words “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 4:1–2 says that the Pharisees heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples; and 5:33–36 gives the words “You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth,” “He was the burning and shining lamp,” and “the testimony which I have is greater than that of John.” John 10:40–41 says that Jesus went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and that many came to Jesus there and said, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true.” Acts 1:4–5 gives the words of Jesus: “For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now”; and at 1:15–22 Peter says, “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.” Acts 10:37 has Peter say, “you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached.” Acts 11:16 has Peter, explaining in Jerusalem to those of the circumcision, say, “I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit’”; and 13:24–25 has Paul say in the synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia that John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel, and that as John was fulfilling his course, he said, “What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.” Acts 18:24–25 says that Apollos, who came to Ephesus, had been instructed in the way of the Lord and spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John. Acts 19:1–4 says that when Paul asked certain disciples he found at Ephesus, “Into what then were you baptized?”, they said, “Into John’s baptism,” and Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

Named at Nehemiah 12:10–11: “Eliashib became the father of Joiada, and Joiada became the father of Jonathan”. 12:22 says, “As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ households”; and 13:28 says, “One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me”, in the words of the speaker (“I”). Neither edition names that son. The Korean Revised Version reads 대제사장 엘리아십의 손자 요야다의 아들 하나가 at 13:28.

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 3:6 as the son of Paseah: “Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the old gate. They laid its beams and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars.”

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 12:10: “Jeshua became the father of Joiakim, and Joiakim became the father of Eliashib”. 12:12 opens, “In the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers’ households”, and names the families and their heads; and 12:26 says, “These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest and scribe.” The Korean Revised Version counts that line from Jozadak (요사닥의 손자 예수아의 아들 요야김, Joiakim, Jozadak’s grandson, Jeshua’s son).

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 11:5 in the line of Maaseiah: “and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.” The Korean Revised Version counts the generations (저는 바룩의 아들이요 골호세의 손자요 …, he is the son of Baruch, the grandson of Colhozeh …) and ends with 실로 사람의 칠대손이라, the seventh generation of the Shilonite, where WEB reads “the son of the Shilonite”. Neither edition names the Shilonite.

Nehemiah

A name Genesis 10:21–31 lists as a son of Eber.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 13:3: “But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man.” At 13:4–5 he says to Amnon, “Lay down on your bed and pretend to be sick. When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’” At 13:30–35, when the news has come to David that Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, Jonadab answers, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead”, and when the king’s sons are coming he says to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.”

2 Samuel

The prophet named at 2 Kings 14:25: “He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.” There the Korean Revised Version names Jeroboam (여로보암이) where WEB says “He”, and reads 가드헤벨 아밋대의 아들 선지자 요나, naming the town Gath Hepher before Amittai. Jonah 1:1–3 say that the LORD’s word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it”, but that Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; 1:17 says, “The LORD prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights”; and 2:1–10 say that Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish’s belly, and that the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land. 3:1–4 say that the LORD’s word came to Jonah the second time, and that he went to Nineveh and cried out, “In forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”; and 4:1–11 say that it displeased Jonah exceedingly and he was angry and prayed to the LORD, that the LORD God prepared a vine and made it to come up over Jonah and God prepared a worm that chewed on the vine, and that the LORD said, “Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand, and also many animals?” Matthew 12:39–41 names Jonah as the prophet concerning the sign; he is not present in the scene.

2 Kings, Jonah, Matthew, Luke

Named at John 1:42, where Jesus says to Simon, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas.” The Korean Revised Version calls him 요한 (John) there. He shares his Korean name with John the Baptizer and his English name with the prophet Jonah, and is not the same person as either. John 21:15–17 has Jesus, after they have eaten their breakfast, call Simon Peter “Simon, son of Jonah” three times; the Korean Revised Version reads 요한의 아들 시몬 in these verses.

John

Named in the genealogy at Luke 3:30: Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim.

Luke

Named at 1 Chronicles 27:32 as David’s uncle: “Also Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe.” The Korean Revised Version reads 다윗의 아자비 요나단은 지혜가 있어서 모사가 되며 서기관도 되었고, Jonathan, David’s uncle, being wise, became a counselor and also a scribe.

Named at 2 Samuel 15:27, where the king says to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.” At 15:35–36 David says to Hushai, “Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.” 2 Samuel 17:17–21 says that Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En Rogel, for they couldn’t risk being seen coming into the city; that when a boy saw them and told Absalom, they both came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and went down there; that Absalom’s servants said to the woman, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?”; and that they came up out of the well and told King David, “Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.” 1 Kings 1:41–48 says that as Joab said, “Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came, and Adonijah said, “Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news”; and that Jonathan answered Adonijah, “Most certainly our lord King David has made Solomon king”, and went on, “Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon”, and “Also, Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.”

Named at 1 Samuel 13:2, where Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of Israel, and “one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin.” 13:3 says, “Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it.” 13:16 says, “Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin”, and at 13:22, in the day of battle, neither sword nor spear is found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan, “but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.” 1 Samuel 14:1–15 says that Jonathan the son of Saul didn’t tell his father, that he and his armor bearer revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, and that “Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him”; 14:27–30, that Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath, put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and his eyes brightened, and that he said, “My father has troubled the land”; and 14:41–45, that Jonathan and Saul were chosen and then Jonathan was selected, but the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel?” and rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die. 1 Samuel 18:1–4 says that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul, and that Jonathan and David made a covenant and Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash; at 19:1–7 Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delights in David and speaks good of David to Saul his father, and Saul swears, “As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death”; at 20:12–17 Jonathan makes a covenant with David’s house and causes David to swear again, for the love that he had for him; at 20:30–34 Saul’s anger burns against Jonathan and Saul casts his spear at him, and Jonathan arises from the table in fierce anger; and at 20:35–42 Jonathan goes out into the field and shoots an arrow, and then he and David kiss one another and weep with one another, and Jonathan says to David, “Go in peace.” 1 Samuel 23:16–18 says that Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God; he said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also”; they both made a covenant before the LORD, and Jonathan went to his house. 1 Samuel 31:2 says, “The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul”; 31:6 says, “So Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men that same day together.” At 2 Samuel 1:17–27 David laments with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son, saying, “Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided”, and “Jonathan was slain on your high places. I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.” 2 Samuel 21:7 says that the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul; at 21:12–14 David takes the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead and brings them up from there, and the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son are buried in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father.

The Korean Revised Version counts the generations from Zechariah, whom it calls his son (아들).

Nehemiah

Named at 2 Samuel 21:21 as the son of Shimei, David’s brother. 21:20–21 says, “There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant. When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.” The Korean Revised Version names his father 삼마.

Luke 23:50–51 calls him a member of the council, a good and righteous man who had not consented to their counsel and deed, from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for God’s Kingdom; at 23:52–53 Joseph goes to Pilate, asks for Jesus’ body, takes it down, wraps it in a linen cloth and lays Jesus in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid. John 19:38 calls him a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, and has him ask of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body and, when Pilate gives him permission, take it away; at 19:39 Nicodemus also comes bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, and at 19:40–42 they take Jesus’ body, bind it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury, and lay Jesus in a new tomb in the garden in the place where Jesus was crucified.

1 Samuel

Named at Haggai 1:1 as the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 1:1–2 says that in the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came by Haggai the prophet, “to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest”. 1:12–14 says that Zerubbabel, Joshua, and all the remnant of the people obeyed the LORD their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai the prophet, and that the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the spirit of Joshua, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of Armies, their God. 2:1–4 gives, in the LORD’s word that came by Haggai the prophet in the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people” and “Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest.” Zechariah 3:1–5 tells what the speaker (“I”) is shown. 3:1 says, “He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the LORD’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary”, and 3:3–4, “Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, ‘Take the filthy garments off him.’ To him he said, ‘Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing.’” At 3:5 the speaker says, “Let them set a clean turban on his head,” and the text goes on, “So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him”. At 3:6–7 the LORD’s angel solemnly assures Joshua, saying, “The LORD of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts’”. 6:11 gives, in the LORD’s word that comes to the speaker, “Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest”, and the text does not say that it was done. The Korean Revised Version names the LORD as the one who shows and speaks at 3:1 and 3:4, where WEB reads “He”.

Haggai, Zechariah

Fights Amalek at Moses’ command in Exodus 17. Exodus 24:13 calls him Moses’ servant, and 33:11 Moses’ servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man. In Numbers 11:28 he asks Moses to forbid Eldad and Medad, who are prophesying in the camp. Numbers 13:8 lists the spy from the tribe of Ephraim as Hoshea the son of Nun, and 13:16 says Moses called him Joshua. At 14:6–9 he and Caleb tear their clothes and tell the congregation that the land is exceedingly good; 14:30 excepts him and Caleb from those counted who shall not come into the land, and 14:38 has the two of them remain alive of the men who went to spy it out. Numbers 26:65 names him with Caleb as the only ones left of those counted in the wilderness of Sinai, and in 27:18–23 Moses, as the LORD commanded, sets him before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, lays his hands on him and commissions him. Numbers 32:12 says he and Caleb followed the LORD completely, and 34:17 names him with Eleazar the priest to divide the land for inheritance. Deuteronomy 1:38 has the LORD say, “Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it”; 3:21–22 says, “I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘… So shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where you go over. You shall not fear them; for the LORD your God himself fights for you’”; and 3:28 has the LORD say, “But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people.” Deuteronomy 31:7–8 has Moses call him and say to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it”; at 31:14–15 the LORD tells Moses, “Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him,” and Moses and Joshua present themselves there; and 31:23 says, “He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, ‘Be strong and courageous …’”, where the Korean Revised Version names the LORD as the one who commands him. Deuteronomy 32:44 says that Moses and Joshua the son of Nun spoke all the words of the song in the ears of the people; 34:9 says that Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him, and that the children of Israel listened to Joshua and did as the LORD commanded Moses. Joshua 1:1–9 says that after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying, “Now therefore arise, go across this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land which I am giving to them, even to the children of Israel,” “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you,” “you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them,” and “Be strong and courageous.” Joshua 24:29–30 says that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old, and that they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah.

Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles, Nehemiah, Acts, Hebrews

Named at 1 Kings 13:2, where the man of God (13:1) cries against the altar by the LORD’s word, and says, “Altar! Altar! The LORD says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’” 2 Kings 21:24 says that the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, “and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place”; 22:1–2 says, “Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left”; and 22:3–20 tells that in the eighteenth year of King Josiah the king sent Shaphan the scribe to the LORD’s house, that Hilkiah the high priest said that he had found the book of the law in the LORD’s house, that when the king heard the words of the book of the law he tore his clothes and commanded, “Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found”, that Huldah the prophetess gave the LORD’s word for the man who sent them, and that the words go on for the king of Judah, who sent them to inquire of the LORD, and include, “I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.” 2 Kings 23:1–3 says that the king read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the LORD’s house, and stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD; 23:4–20 that he commanded the vessels made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky to be brought out, and burned them in the fields of the Kidron, defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, and broke down the altar that was at Bethel and the high place, and that Josiah took the bones out of the tombs and burned them on the altar, “according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things”; 23:22–23 that “there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the LORD in Jerusalem”; 23:25 that “There was no king like him before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after him”; and 23:29–30 that Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, and that “His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb.” 2 Chronicles 34:1–33 says Josiah becomes king at eight, removes idolatrous altars, commissions temple repairs, tears his clothes on hearing the discovered book of the law, receives Huldah’s message, and covenants with the people. 2 Chronicles 35:1–36:1 says Josiah keeps the Passover in Jerusalem, is shot after going out to fight Neco in the valley of Megiddo, dies in Jerusalem, and is succeeded by his son Jehoahaz, whom the people make king. Matthew 1:10–11 records in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17, “Amon became the father of Josiah. Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.”

1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Matthew

Named at Judges 9:5 as “Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal”. At 9:4–5 Abimelech goes to his father’s house at Ophrah and kills his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone; but Jotham “was left, for he hid himself.” At 9:7–20 Jotham goes and stands on the top of Mount Gerizim, lifts up his voice and cries out, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you,” tells of the trees that set out to anoint a king over themselves, and ends, “but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from the house of Millo and devour Abimelech.” At 9:21 he runs away and flees, and goes to Beer and lives there, for fear of Abimelech his brother; and 9:57 says, “God repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads; and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came on them.”

Judges

Named at 2 Kings 15:5, where the text says of Azariah king of Judah, “The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.” 15:7 says, “Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.” 15:32–33 says, “In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign. He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.” At 15:34–35 he does that which is right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done, though the high places are not taken away; and “He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house.” 15:37 says, “In those days, the LORD began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah”, and 15:38, “Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.” 2 Chronicles 27:1–9 says Jotham begins to reign at twenty-five, rules sixteen years, builds the temple’s upper gate and the wall of Ophel, prevails against Ammon, and is buried in David’s city. Matthew 1:9 records in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17, “Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz.”

Named at Nehemiah 11:16 with Shabbethai: “and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outward business of God’s house”.

Nehemiah

Named at Ezra 8:33 as “Jozabad the son of Jeshua”: “On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.” The Korean Revised Version sets 레위 사람 (Levite) before 예수아 (레위 사람 예수아의 아들 요사밧), where WEB puts “the Levites” after both Jozabad and Noadiah.

Ezra

Named at 2 Kings 12:21 as the son of Shimeath. 12:20–21 says that Joash’s servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla: “For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died”. The Korean Revised Version reads 저를 죽였고, killed him, where WEB reads “struck Joash” (12:20).

2 Kings

Named at Ezra 3:2 as the father of Jeshua: 3:2, 3:8 and 5:2 all name “Jeshua the son of Jozadak”.

Ezra, Nehemiah

Person in Genesis 4:20–24: Jubal.

Genesis

Named at Acts 9:11, where the Lord tells Ananias to go to the street called Straight and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus; the verse names Judah only to say whose house it is. The Korean Revised Version reads 유다 집.

Person in Genesis 29:31–35: Judah.

Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Ruth, 1 Chronicles, Matthew, Luke

Luke

Named in the genealogy at Luke 3:30: Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph.

Luke

Named in Matthew 13:55 as a brother of Jesus, kept apart from the other entries of that name. Mark 6:3 also names him as a brother of Jesus; WEB spells the name Judah there.

Matthew, Mark

Named at Acts 15:22 among the men whom the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chose to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: “Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.” The letter of 15:27 says, “We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth,” and at 15:32–33 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encourage the brothers with many words and strengthen them, and after they have spent some time there, they are dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.

Acts

Named at John 14:22 as Judas (not Iscariot). At 14:22–23 he says to Jesus, “Lord, what has happened that you are about to reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” and Jesus answers him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”

John

Named at Luke 6:13–16 among the twelve whom Jesus chose from his disciples and named apostles. Luke 6:16 calls him Judas the son of James; he shares a name with Judas Iscariot, named in the same verse, and is not the same person.

Luke, Acts

One of the twelve in Matthew 10:4, recorded as the one who betrayed him. The text adds Iscariot, which keeps him apart from the other person entry of the same name. Mark 14:10–11 has him go to the chief priests to deliver Jesus to them, and they promise to give him money; at 14:43–46 he comes with a multitude, says “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kisses him, and they seize Jesus. Luke 22:3–6 says that Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot and counted with the twelve, and that Judas talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver Jesus to them and sought an opportunity to do it in the absence of the multitude; at 22:47–48 Judas leads a crowd and comes near to Jesus to kiss him, and Jesus says to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” John 6:71 says that Jesus’ words at 6:70, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”, spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was Judas who would betray Jesus, being one of the twelve. John 12:3–6 says that when Mary had anointed Jesus’ feet, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of Jesus’ disciples, who would betray him, said, “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”, and that he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. John 13:2 says that the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Jesus; at 13:26–30 Jesus dips the piece of bread and gives it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, and after the piece of bread Satan enters into Judas; Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly,” and some think, because Judas has the money box, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor; having received that morsel, Judas goes out immediately, and it is night. John 18:2–5 says that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples; Judas, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons, and was standing with those who answered Jesus, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Acts 1:15–17 has Peter, standing up in the middle of the disciples, say, “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus. For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry. Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out. It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’”; and at 1:24–25 the disciples pray, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

Named at Acts 5:37, in what Gamaliel says in the council after speaking of Theudas: “After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.”

Acts

Named at Jude 1:1 as “Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James”, who writes “to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ”.

Jude

Person in Genesis 26:34–35: Judith.

Genesis

Named at Acts 27:1 as a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band, to whom they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners. At 27:3 Julius treats Paul kindly and gives him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself. 27:6, 27:11, 27:31 and 27:43, and WEB’s 28:16, say only “the centurion,” and this collection reads that centurion as the Julius of 27:1: at 27:6 the centurion finds a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and “he put us on board”; at 27:11 the centurion gives more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul; at 27:31 Paul says to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved”; and at 27:42–43, when the soldiers’ counsel is to kill the prisoners, the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stops the soldiers from their purpose and commands that those who can swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land. At 28:16 WEB has “the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard”; the Korean Revised Version does not have these words.

Acts

Named at Acts 18:7: after Paul says, “From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”, he departs there and goes into “the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.” The Korean Revised Version names him 디도 유스도.

Acts

Named at Ezra 3:9 among those who have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house. 3:8 says that Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD’s house; and 3:9 says, “Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together to have the oversight of the workmen in God’s house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.”

Genesis, 1 Chronicles, Luke

Named at Joshua 15:17 as the father of Othniel: “Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb”; the Korean Revised Version calls Othniel Caleb’s younger brother and the son of Kenaz. This collection keeps him apart from the Kenaz of Genesis 36.

Acts 13:21 names him in Paul’s words in the synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia, as the father of Saul: “Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.” The verse names him only to say whose son Saul was.

1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, Acts

Named at Esther 2:5 in the line of Mordecai: “whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite”. The Korean Revised Version gives the line from Kish down, making Mordecai the great-grandson of Kish (기스의 증손), and makes Mordecai the Benjamite (저는 베냐민 자손이니).

With Dathan, Abiram and On he rises up against Moses and Aaron with two hundred fifty princes of the congregation (16:1–3), and at 16:19 he assembles all the congregation against them at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Numbers 16:32 has the earth swallow all of Korah’s men and all their goods. Numbers 26:10–11 records that the earth swallowed Korah up with his company, but the sons of Korah did not die; 26:58 lists the family of the Korahites among the families of Levi.

1 Samuel

Named at 2 Samuel 3:15 as the father of Paltiel: “Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, Paltiel the son of Laish.” This collection keeps him apart from Laish, the father of Palti, of 1 Samuel 25:44, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

2 Samuel

Person in Genesis 5:25–31: Lamech (father of Noah). Luke 3:36–37 has Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah; the Korean Revised Version spells the name 레멕 there.

Named at Judges 4:4, where Deborah is called his wife: “Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth”.

Judges

Named at John 11:1 as Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha. John 11:2 says it was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick, and 11:5 says that Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. At 11:14 Jesus says plainly, “Lazarus is dead,” and at 11:17, when Jesus comes, Lazarus has been in the tomb four days already; at 11:43–44 Jesus cries with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”, and he who was dead comes out, bound hand and foot with wrappings. At 12:1–2, six days before the Passover, Jesus comes to Bethany, where Lazarus is, and Lazarus is one of those who sit at the table with Jesus; at 12:9–11 a large crowd of the Jews comes that they might see Lazarus also, and the chief priests conspire to put Lazarus to death also, because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus; and 12:17 says the multitude that was with Jesus when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.

John

Laban’s elder daughter and Rachel’s sister; she becomes Jacob’s wife in Genesis 29.

Genesis, Ruth

Proverbs 31:1 calls Lemuel a king and introduces words taught him by his mother. It does not identify his realm or equate him with another king.

Proverbs

Named at Mark 2:14 as the son of Alphaeus: Jesus, passing by, sees him sitting at the tax office and says to him, “Follow me,” and he arises and follows him. He shares a name with the Levi of Genesis and is not the same person. Luke 5:27–29 has Jesus see a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office and say to him, “Follow me!”; Levi leaves everything, rises up and follows him, and makes a great feast for Jesus in his house; these verses do not name Levi’s father, and this collection takes him to be the Levi of Mark 2:14.

The Korean Revised Version names Gomer, the LORD and Hosea at 1:6 (고멜이 또 잉태하여 딸을 낳으매 여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되), where WEB reads “She” and “he said to him”.

Hosea

1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 15:2, where the text says of Abijam, “His mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.” 15:10 says the same of Asa. 15:13 says, “He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah.

Named at Ezra 8:18: “According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen”. The Korean Revised Version reads 이스라엘의 손자 레위의 아들 말리, Mahli the son of Levi, the grandson of Israel. This collection keeps him apart from the Mahli whom Numbers 3:20 names as a son of Merari, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 20:21: “Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.” 21:1–9 says, “Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah”, and that he did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight: he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed, raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house, made his son to pass through the fire, and set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house; and that “Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel”, where the Korean Revised Version reads 이 백성이 … 므낫세의 꾀임을 받고 (this people … were seduced by Manasseh). 21:10–18 says that the LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him”, that Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, and that he slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 33:1–20 says Manasseh builds idolatrous altars and does evil, is taken to Babylon, humbles himself and prays, returns to his throne, removes idols and restores the LORD’s altar, and is buried in his own house. Matthew 1:10 records in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17, “Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon.”

At 13:8 Manoah entreats the LORD, and says, “Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we should do to the child who shall be born.” At 13:11–18 he follows his wife and questions the man, and asks the LORD’s angel his name. At 13:19–22 Manoah offers the young goat with the meal offering on the rock to the LORD, and the LORD’s angel ascends in the flame of the altar; Manoah knows that he was the LORD’s angel, and says to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God.” At 16:31 Samson is buried between Zorah and Eshtaol “in the burial site of Manoah his father”.

Judges

Named at 1 Samuel 27:2, where David passes over with the six hundred men who were with him “to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath”. The Korean Revised Version reads 가드 왕 마옥의 아들 아기스, where 가드 왕 (king of Gath) stands before Maoch and can be read as naming Maoch king of Gath.

1 Samuel

Mark greets the recipients as a fellow worker in Philemon 1:24. This verse does not call him John called Mark of Acts. Colossians 4:10–11 say, “Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received instructions, ‘if he comes to you, receive him’), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision”; for “the cousin of Barnabas” the Korean Revised Version reads 바나바의 생질. 2 Timothy 4:11 says, “Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.” 1 Peter 5:13 says, “She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you. So does Mark, my son.”

Colossians, 2 Timothy, Philemon, 1 Peter

Named at Luke 10:38 as a woman who received Jesus into her house in a certain village he entered. Luke 10:39 says she had a sister called Mary, who sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word; at 10:40–42, distracted with much serving, Martha asks the Lord whether he does not care that her sister has left her to serve alone, and Jesus answers, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is needed.” John 11:1 names Bethany as the village of Mary and her sister, Martha, and 11:5 says that Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus; at 11:20–22, when Martha hears that Jesus is coming, she goes and meets him and says, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you”; at 11:25–27 Jesus says to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”, and she says, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world”; at 11:39 Martha, the sister of him who was dead, says, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days”; and at 12:1–2, six days before the Passover, when they make Jesus a supper at Bethany, Martha serves.

Luke, John

Matthew 27:56 names her the mother of James and Joses, kept apart from the other entries of that name. Mark 15:40 names her among the women watching from afar as Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses. This collection also places here Mary the mother of Joses, who saw where Jesus was laid (15:47), and Mary the mother of James, who bought spices and came to the tomb (16:1–2). Where the Korean Revised Version has 요셉 in Matthew 27:56 it has 요세 in Mark (WEB has Joses in both), and this collection keeps the Mary of both Gospels as one entry while leaving open, as a review question, whether she is the same woman. Luke 24:1–10 names the women who came to the tomb at early dawn on the first day of the week and returned to tell all these things to the eleven and to all the rest: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and this collection places that Mary the mother of James here as well.

Matthew, Mark, Luke

Mother of Jesus in Matthew 1:16–25 and 2:11. At Mark 6:2–3 many who hear Jesus teach in the synagogue on the Sabbath ask, “Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary?”, and are offended at him. Luke 1:26–38 has the angel Gabriel sent to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, to Mary, a virgin pledged to be married to Joseph, of David’s house, to tell her that she will conceive and give birth to a son and shall name him Jesus, and that Elizabeth her relative also has conceived a son in her old age; at 1:39–56 Mary enters into the house of Zacharias in a city of Judah, greets Elizabeth, says, “My soul magnifies the Lord,” stays with Elizabeth about three months and returns to her house; at 2:4–7 she goes up with Joseph to Bethlehem and there gives birth to her firstborn son and lays him in a feeding trough; and 2:19 and 2:51 say that she kept all these sayings in her heart. John 2:1–12 does not give her name and calls her Jesus’ mother and his mother: at 2:1–5 Jesus’ mother is at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, says to Jesus when the wine runs out, “They have no wine,” and says to the servants, “Whatever he says to you, do it,” and at 2:12 Jesus goes down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers and his disciples; this collection takes her to be the mother of Jesus whom Matthew and Luke name Mary. John 19:25–27 does not name her: it tells of Jesus’ mother standing by his cross, and when Jesus sees his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he says to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” and to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!”, and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. Acts 1:12–14 says that Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, having returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, went up into the upper room where they were staying, and that all these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with Jesus’ brothers.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

Named at Acts 12:12 as the mother of John who was called Mark: Peter, thinking about that, came to the house of Mary, where many were gathered together and were praying.

Acts

Named at Luke 10:39 as Martha’s sister, who sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word. At 10:40 Martha asks the Lord whether he does not care that her sister has left her to serve alone, and at 10:42 Jesus says, “Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.” The Korean Revised Version calls her Martha’s 동생, her younger sibling. John 11:2 says it was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick; at 11:28–33 Martha calls Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling you,” and Mary arises quickly, comes to where Jesus is, falls down at his feet and says, “Lord, if you would have been here, my brother wouldn’t have died,” and when Jesus sees her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groans in the spirit and is troubled; at 12:1–3, when they make Jesus a supper at Bethany six days before the Passover, Mary takes a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, anoints Jesus’ feet and wipes his feet with her hair; and at 12:7 Jesus says, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.”

Luke, John

Named at John 19:25 among those standing by Jesus’ cross, as Mary the wife of Clopas.

John

Named Mary Magdalene in Matthew 27:56, 27:61 and 28:1, kept apart from the other entries of that name. Mark 15:40–41, 15:47 and 16:1–8 name her with the other women, and 16:9–11 says that Jesus, having risen, appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons, and that she went and told those who had been with him. Luke 8:1–3 says that as Jesus went about through cities and villages the twelve were with him, and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, Susanna, and many others who served them from their possessions. Luke 24:1–10 names the women who came to the tomb at early dawn on the first day of the week and returned to tell all these things to the eleven and to all the rest: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; the other women with them told these things to the apostles. John 19:25 names Mary Magdalene among those standing by Jesus’ cross: “his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene”; at 20:1–2, on the first day of the week, while it is still dark, she comes to the tomb, sees that the stone has been taken away, and runs to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, saying, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”; and at 20:11–18, as she stands outside at the tomb weeping, Jesus says to her, “Mary,” and she turns and says to him, “Rabboni!”, and Mary Magdalene comes and tells the disciples that she has seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

Named at Nehemiah 13:13 in the line of Hanan, who was next to the treasurers: “Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah”.

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 11:17: “and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer”. The Korean Revised Version names the generations from Asaph down (아삽의 증손 삽디의 손자 미가의 아들 맛다냐, Mattaniah the son of Mica, the grandson of Zabdi, the great-grandson of Asaph) and reads 기도할 때에 감사하는 말씀을 인도하는 어른, the elder who led the words of thanksgiving in prayer. 11:22 names the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem, “Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph”; the Korean Revised Version names the generations there from Mica down (미가의 현손 맛다냐의 증손 …, the great-great-grandson of Mica, the great-grandson of Mattaniah …).

Psalm 110:4 says, “The LORD has sworn, and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.’” Hebrews 7:1–3 calls him “king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him”, and says that he is “first, by interpretation, ‘king of righteousness’, and then also ‘king of Salem’, which means ‘king of peace’, without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God”, and that he “remains a priest continually.”

He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.” 15:17 says, “In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria”, and at 15:18 he does that which is evil in the LORD’s sight, and does not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 15:19–20 says, “Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria.

He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.” 2 Samuel 9:6–13 says that Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face, and David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father. You will eat bread at my table continually”; that Mephibosheth ate at the king’s table like one of the king’s sons; that he had a young son, whose name was Mica; and that he lived in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table, and was lame in both his feet. 2 Samuel 16:3–4 says that when the king said, “Where is your master’s son?”, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’” and that the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” 2 Samuel 19:24–30 says that Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither groomed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace; that when the king said to him, “Why didn’t you go with me, Mephibosheth?”, he answered, “My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, ‘I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go with the king,’ because your servant is lame. He has slandered your servant to my lord the king”; and that when the king said, “I say, you and Ziba divide the land”, Mephibosheth said, “Yes, let him take all, because my lord the king has come in peace to his own house”; the Korean Revised Version reads 사울의 손자, Saul’s grandson, where WEB says “the son of Saul” at 19:24.

At 21:8–9 they and the five sons of Merab are delivered into the hands of the Gibeonites; the Gibeonites hang them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fall together. At 21:7 the king spares “Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul”: the two verses give the two a different father.

2 Samuel

Named at 1 Samuel 14:49 as Saul’s firstborn daughter: “Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.” 1 Samuel 18:17 has Saul say to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD’s battles,” and 18:19 says that at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife. 2 Samuel 21:8–9 says that the king took the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite, with the two sons of Rizpah, and delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, who hanged them on the mountain before the LORD.

At 1:11–13 Daniel says to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days”. 1:17 says, “Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom”; at 1:19–20, when the king talked with them, among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and the king found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm. At 2:17–18 Daniel makes the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; and 2:49 says, “Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon”, where the Korean Revised Version names the king (왕이).

But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up”; 3:19–23, that Nebuchadnezzar commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind them and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace, that they were bound and cast into the middle of the furnace, and, “These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace”; 3:26–27, that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire, and that the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies; and 3:30, “Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.”

At 2:7 Mordecai (WEB “He”) brings up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, and when her father and mother were dead, “Mordecai took her for his own daughter” (the Korean Revised Version: 자기 딸 같이 양육하더라, brought her up like his own daughter). At 2:10–11 Esther does not make known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her, and Mordecai walks every day in front of the court of the women’s house; at 2:21–22, while Mordecai sits in the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh seek to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus, and the thing becomes known to Mordecai, who informs Esther the queen. At 3:2–6 Mordecai doesn’t bow down or pay homage to Haman, and has told the king’s servants that he is a Jew, and Haman seeks to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people. At 4:1–17 Mordecai tears his clothes and puts on sackcloth with ashes; gives the copy of the decree to Hathach (WEB “him”, 4:8) to show it to Esther; asks them to return this answer to Esther, “For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”; and does according to all that Esther had commanded him. Esther 6:10–12 says that, as the king told Haman, Haman arrayed Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate, had him ride through the city square and proclaimed before him, and that Mordecai came back to the king’s gate; 8:1–2, that Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her, and that the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; 8:9–15, that “it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the local governors, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia”, and that Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and the city of Susa shouted and was glad; 9:3–4, that all the princes of the provinces helped the Jews, “because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them,” and that his fame went out throughout all the provinces; 9:20–23, that Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly, and that the Jews accepted the custom as Mordecai had written to them; and 10:2–3 asks whether the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, isn’t written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia, and says, “For Mordecai the Jew was next to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brothers.”

Esther

Son of Amram and Jochebed and brother of Aaron. Called at the burning bush; central to the Exodus and Sinai narratives. In Leviticus 8, as the LORD commanded, Moses assembles the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, washes Aaron and the sons of Aaron with water, clothes them, and sanctifies them by sprinkling on them the anointing oil and the blood which was on the altar; at 9:23 Moses and Aaron go into the Tent of Meeting, come out and bless the people, and the LORD’s glory appears to all the people. In Numbers 27:12–14 the LORD tells him to go up the mountain of Abarim and see the land given to the children of Israel, after which he will be gathered to his people as Aaron his brother was; in 27:22–23 he sets Joshua before Eleazar and all the congregation, lays his hands on him and commissions him. Numbers 33:2 says Moses wrote down the starting points of the journeys of the children of Israel by the commandment of the LORD. Deuteronomy 1:1 opens, “These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah”, and 1:3–5 says that in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them, and began to declare this law beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab. Deuteronomy 34:5–8 says that Moses the servant of the LORD died in the land of Moab, according to the LORD’s word; that “He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no man knows where his tomb is to this day”; that Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died, his eye not dim nor his strength gone; and that the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days.

Numbers, 1 Chronicles

Person in Genesis 4:20–24: Naamah.

Genesis

Named at 1 Kings 14:21, which says that Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah, and that “His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.” 14:31 says the same again, after Rehoboam is buried with his fathers in David’s city.

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Numbers 26:40 names him a son of Bela; the family of the Naamites came from him. He shares a name with the Naaman of Genesis 46:21; this collection keeps the two apart.

Numbers, 1 Chronicles

Person in Genesis 46:8–27: Naaman.

Genesis

Named at 2 Kings 5:1 as captain of the army of the king of Syria: “Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria; he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.” Chapter 5 tells that a little girl whom the Syrians had brought away captive out of the land of Israel, and who waited on his wife, said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy”; that he brought the letter of the king of Syria to the king of Israel; and that Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean”, and he dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God, and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. At 5:15–19 he returns to the man of God and says, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel”, asks, “please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant”, and says, “When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD pardon your servant in this thing”; at 5:20 Gehazi the servant of Elisha says, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought.” Luke 4:27 names him, in what Jesus says, as a Syrian: there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian. He shares a name with the Naamans of Genesis and Numbers and is not the same person.

2 Kings, Luke

Named at 1 Chronicles 4:5: “Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.” 4:6 says, “Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah.”

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. This woman was intelligent and had a beautiful face; but the man was surly and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.” The Korean Revised Version reads 그는 갈멜 족속이었더라 at 25:3, naming Carmel where WEB names Caleb. At 25:10–11 he answers David’s servants, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse?” At 25:25 Abigail says, “Nabal is his name, and folly is with him.” At 25:36–38 he holds a feast in his house like the feast of a king and is very drunk; in the morning his wife tells him these things, and his heart dies within him, and he becomes as a stone; about ten days later the LORD strikes Nabal, so that he dies. At 27:3 his wife is called “Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife”.

1 Samuel, 2 Samuel

Named at 1 Kings 21:1: “Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.” At 21:2–3 Ahab says to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house”, and Naboth says to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!” At 21:8–13 letters written in Ahab’s name are sent to the elders and to the nobles who lived with Naboth; they proclaim a fast and set Naboth on high among the people; the two wicked fellows testify against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!”; and they carry him out of the city and stone him to death with stones. At 21:19 the words the LORD gives Elijah to speak to Ahab speak of “the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth”.

At 24:9 he goes up with Moses, Aaron, Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and 28:1 names him among Aaron’s sons who are to minister in the priest’s office. Leviticus 10:1–2 says that Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them, and that fire came out from before the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Numbers 3:2 calls him Aaron’s firstborn, and 3:4 and 26:61 say that Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the LORD.

Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 14:20, where Jeroboam sleeps with his fathers, “and Nadab his son reigned in his place.” 15:25 says, “Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.” At 15:26 he does that which is evil in the LORD’s sight, and walks in the way of his father. At 15:27–28 Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and strikes him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon; and in the third year of Asa king of Judah Baasha kills him and reigns in his place.

Luke

Named at 2 Samuel 23:37 as “Naharai the Beerothite, armor bearers to Joab the son of Zeruiah”. The name stands among those that 23:24–39 opens with “Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty” and closes with “thirty-seven in all”. The Korean Revised Version makes him alone 요압의 병기 잡은 자, Joab’s armor bearer.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 17:25 in the words “Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother”. This collection keeps him apart from the Nahash of 17:27 and from Nahash the king of the children of Ammon, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

2 Samuel

Named at 2 Samuel 17:27 in the words “Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon”. This collection keeps him apart from the Nahash of 17:25 and from Nahash the king of the children of Ammon, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

2 Samuel

Named at 1 Samuel 11:1 as Nahash the Ammonite, who comes up and encamps against Jabesh Gilead; all the men of Jabesh say to him, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.” At 11:2 he says to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.” At 12:12 Samuel says to the people, “When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when the LORD your God was your king.” 2 Samuel 10:1–2 says that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place, and that David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.”

At 1:2–5 she, her husband and her two sons come into the country of Moab and live there; her husband Elimelech dies, and her two sons Mahlon and Chilion both die, and she is bereaved of her two children and of her husband; at 1:6–22 she returns to Bethlehem with Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, and says, “Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.” At 2:20 she says to Ruth of Boaz, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen”, and at 3:1–4 she tells Ruth to go down to the threshing floor, uncover his feet, and lie down. At 4:16–17 she takes the child Ruth has borne, lays him in her bosom and becomes nurse to him, and the women, her neighbors, give him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi”, and name him Obed.

Named at 1 Kings 4:5 as the father of Azariah and of Zabud: “Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, the king’s friend”.

Named at 2 Kings 24:1, where in Jehoiakim’s days (WEB “In his days”) “Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.” At 24:10–12 the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up to Jerusalem, and the city is besieged; Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes to the city, and Jehoiachin the king of Judah goes out to the king of Babylon, “and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.” 25:1 says that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, where WEB dates it “In the ninth year of his reign” and the Korean Revised Version 시드기야 구년; 25:8 dates the coming of Nebuzaradan to Jerusalem to “the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon”; and 25:22 calls the people who were left in the land of Judah those “whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left”. Jeremiah 39:11–12 says that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying, “Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.” Daniel 1:1–2 says that in the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it, and that the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; 1:18 says, “At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar”; 2:1, “In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him”; and 2:46–48, that King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel (the Korean Revised Version: 절하고, bowed), and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him, and that the king made Daniel great and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.

I saw a dream which made me afraid,” and tells Belteshazzar that in the visions of his head he saw a tree in the middle of the earth; 4:28–33, “This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar.

Named at 2 Kings 25:8: in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, “Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.” At 25:9–11 he burns the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; all the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, breaks down the walls around Jerusalem; and Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carries away captive the rest of the people who were left in the city. At 25:15 the captain of the guard takes away the fire pans and the basins; at 25:18–20 the captain of the guard takes Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold, and “Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.” Jeremiah 39:13–14 says that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and 40:1–5, that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard let Jeremiah go from Ramah, and that the captain of the guard said to Jeremiah, “Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand”, gave him food and a present, and let him go.

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 1:1, which opens the words that follow as his: “The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah.” In 1:1–2:20 this speaker (“I”) is in Susa the palace in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when Hanani, one of his brothers, comes with certain men out of Judah, and they tell the speaker, “The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.” The speaker sits down and weeps, mourns several days, and fasts and prays before the God of heaven; and the text says, “Now I was cup bearer to the king.” In the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, the speaker says to the king, “I ask that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it”, and asks for letters to the governors beyond the River and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest; the king grants the requests, and the speaker comes to the governors beyond the River and gives them the king’s letters. The speaker comes to Jerusalem and inspects the walls by night, and says, “Come, let’s build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced”; and when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian ridicule, the speaker answers, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.” The Korean Revised Version gives the date of 1:1 with a king’s name (아닥사스다왕 제 이십년 기슬르월에), where WEB names no king. At Nehemiah 5:14–18 the speaker (“I”) says, “Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor”, and, “Yet for all this, I didn’t demand the governor’s pay, because the bondage was heavy on this people”; 6:15 says, “So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.” Nehemiah 8:9 says that Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “Today is holy to the LORD your God. Don’t mourn, nor weep.” The words that follow at 8:10 open in WEB with “Then he said to them”, and in the Korean Revised Version with 느헤미야가 또 이르기를. 10:1 opens the list of those who sealed: “Now those who sealed were: Nehemiah the governor, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah,”. Nehemiah 12:26 says, “These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest and scribe”, and 12:47, “All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required”; and in 12:31–43 and 13:4–31, which do not name him, the speaker (“I”) brings the princes of Judah up on the wall and appoints two great companies who gave thanks (12:31); was not at Jerusalem “in all this”, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon he went to the king, and after some days asked leave of the king and came to Jerusalem (13:6–7); threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room, and commanded, and they cleansed the rooms (13:8–9); contended with the rulers and with the nobles of Judah (13:11, 13:17); commanded that the doors should be shut when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, and should not be opened until after the Sabbath (13:19); and chased from him one of the sons of Joiada, who was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite (13:28).

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at 1 Samuel 14:50–51 as the father of Abner: 14:50 calls the captain of Saul’s army “Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle”, and 14:51 says, “Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.” Neither edition makes plain whether “Saul’s uncle” is Ner or Abner. In the Korean Revised Version the last words of 14:51, 아비엘의 아들이었더라 (was the son of Abiel), can go with Ner alone or with Kish and Ner.

1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 1 Chronicles

At 3:2–4 he comes to Jesus by night and says, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God”; Jesus answers him, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom,” and Nicodemus asks, “How can a man be born when he is old?” At 3:9–10 he asks, “How can these things be?”, and Jesus answers him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and don’t understand these things?” At John 7:45–52 the officers come to the chief priests and Pharisees, who ask them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”, and the officers answer, “No man ever spoke like this man!”; when the Pharisees answer them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?”, Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) says to them, “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?” They answer him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” John 19:38–39 says that when Joseph of Arimathaea, with Pilate’s permission, took away Jesus’ body, Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds; and at 19:40 they take Jesus’ body and bind it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

At 18:7, as Obadiah is on the way, Elijah meets him; he recognizes him, falls on his face, and says, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?” 18:12 gives among his words (18:9, where they begin, does not name the speaker: WEB “He said”), “But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth”, and 18:16 says, “So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.”

1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 6:10 as Obed-Edom the Gittite. At 6:9–10 David is afraid of the LORD that day, and will not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city, but carries it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house. 6:11 says, “The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.” At 6:12 King David is told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark”, and David goes and brings up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.

Deuteronomy 1:3–4 says Moses spoke to the children of Israel after he had struck Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei; 3:1–7 says that Og “came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei”, that “the LORD our God also delivered into our hand Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people”, and, “We took all his cities at that time … sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan”; the note in parentheses at 3:11 says, “For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim.

At 16:21–22 the people of Israel are divided into two parts, half following Tibni the son of Ginath and half following Omri; the people who followed Omri prevail, “so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.” 16:23 says, “In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah”, and 16:24, “He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.” 16:25 says that Omri did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him, and 16:28, “So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.”

Colossians 4:7–9 say of Tychicus, “I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts, together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you.

As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground”; when David says to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price”, Ornan says, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all”; King David says to Ornan, “No, but I will most certainly buy it for the full price”, and David gives to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. The Korean Revised Version says at 21:20 that Ornan hid with his four sons (네 아들과 함께 숨었더니). 21:28 says that David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, and sacrificed there.

Judges 3:9 names the savior the LORD raised up when the children of Israel cried to him, “Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother”; at 3:10–11 the LORD’s Spirit comes on him, he judges Israel and goes out to war, the LORD delivers Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand, and after the land has rest forty years Othniel the son of Kenaz dies.

You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.”

Named at Nehemiah 11:12 in the line of Adaiah: “and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah”. The Korean Revised Version counts the generations (저는 여로함의 아들이요 블라야의 손자요 …, he is the son of Jeroham, the grandson of Pelaliah …) and writes Pelaliah’s name 블라야. Jeremiah 21:1–2 says that King Zedekiah sent Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah, saying, “Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.” Jeremiah 38:1 says that “Pashhur the son of Malchijah”, with Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, and 38:4 says that the princes then said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death”.

At Acts 15:1–4 Paul and Barnabas have no small discord and discussion with some men who came down from Judea, and Paul, Barnabas, and some others are appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders; at 15:12 the multitude listens to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them; at 15:22–35 Judas called Barsabbas and Silas are sent to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, and Paul and Barnabas stay in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord; at 15:36–41, when Barnabas plans to take John, who was called Mark, Paul doesn’t think that it is a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and after the contention grows so sharp that they separate from each other, Paul chooses Silas and goes through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies; at 16:1–3 Paul comes to Derbe and Lystra, wants to have Timothy go out with him, and circumcises him because of the Jews who were in those parts; at 16:9–10 a vision appears to Paul in the night of a man of Macedonia, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us”; at 16:14 the Lord opens Lydia’s heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul; at 16:16–18 Paul says to the spirit of divination, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!”; at 16:19–40 Paul and Silas are seized, beaten with rods and thrown into prison, a great earthquake comes about midnight, the jailer and all his household are baptized, and when it is day Paul says, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison!”; at 17:1–9 Paul reasons from the Scriptures in the Jewish synagogue at Thessalonica for three Sabbath days, saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ”; at 17:10–15 the brothers send Paul and Silas to Beroea, and when the Jews of Thessalonica learn that the word of God is proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also and agitate the multitudes, the brothers send Paul out to go as far as to the sea, and those who escorted Paul bring him as far as Athens; at 17:16–34 Paul, seeing the city of Athens full of idols, reasons in the synagogue and in the marketplace, and stands in the middle of the Areopagus and says, “You men of Athens …”; at 18:1–11 Paul lives and works at Corinth with Aquila and Priscilla, “for by trade they were tent makers,” reasons in the synagogue every Sabbath, says, “From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”, hears the Lord say to him in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent,” and lives there a year and six months, teaching the word of God; at 18:12–17, when Gallio is proconsul of Achaia, the Jews bring Paul before the judgment seat; and at 18:18–23 Paul sails for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, reasons with the Jews in the synagogue at Ephesus, lands at Caesarea, goes down to Antioch, and goes through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples. Acts 19:1–7 says that Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples who said they had been baptized into John’s baptism; they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; at 19:8–10 Paul speaks boldly in the synagogue for three months, then reasons daily in the school of Tyrannus for two years; at 19:11–12 God works special miracles by the hands of Paul; at 19:21–22 Paul determines to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome,” and sends Timothy and Erastus into Macedonia; at 19:26 Demetrius says that “this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands”; at 19:30–31, when Paul wants to enter in to the people, the disciples don’t allow him, and certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, beg him not to venture into the theater; at 20:1–3 Paul goes into Macedonia and comes into Greece, and when a plot is made against him by Jews he determines to return through Macedonia; at 20:7–12, as Paul talks until midnight, Eutychus falls from the third floor and is taken up dead, and Paul falls upon him and, embracing him, says, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him”; at 20:17–38 Paul sends from Miletus to Ephesus and calls to himself the elders of the assembly, tells them, “Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,” and, “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more,” and kneels down and prays with them all; at 21:4 disciples say to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem, and at 21:12–13, when, the text says, “both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem,” Paul answers, “I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus”; at 21:18–26, the text says, “Paul went in with us to James”; he reports the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry, and, as he is told, takes the four men who have taken a vow, purifies himself and goes with them into the temple; and at 21:27–40 the Jews from Asia lay hands on Paul in the temple, the commanding officer commands him to be bound with two chains, and Paul says, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city,” and, given permission, speaks to the people from the stairs in the Hebrew language. Acts 22:1–21 gives the defense made in the Hebrew language: “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel”; he tells that he persecuted this Way, and that as he came close to Damascus a great light shone around him from the sky and a voice said to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”; one Ananias came and said, “Brother Saul, receive your sight!”; and in a trance in the temple the Lord said to him, “Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.” At 22:22–30, after the people listen to him until he says that, the commanding officer orders Paul to be examined by scourging; Paul asks, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?” and says, “But I was born a Roman,” and on the next day the commanding officer sets him before the council. At 23:1–10 Paul says, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today,” and the high priest, Ananias, commands those who stand by him to strike him on the mouth; Paul cries out, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”, and an argument arises between the Pharisees and Sadducees. At 23:11 the Lord stands by him and says, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.” At 23:12–35 more than forty men bind themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed Paul; Paul’s sister’s son hears they are lying in wait and tells Paul; the commanding officer sends Paul to Felix the governor, the soldiers bring him by night to Antipatris, and at Caesarea the governor commands that he be kept in Herod’s palace. At 24:1–27 the high priest, Ananias, and the orator Tertullus inform the governor against Paul; Paul answers, “according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers”; Felix comes with Drusilla his wife and hears Paul concerning the faith in Christ Jesus; and when two years are fulfilled, Felix, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, leaves Paul in bonds. At 25:6–12, before Festus, Paul says, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all,” and “I appeal to Caesar!”; at 25:23, when Agrippa and Bernice have entered into the place of hearing, Paul is brought in at the command of Festus. Acts 26:1–29 has Paul make his defense before King Agrippa, saying that “after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee,” that he shut up many of the saints in prisons and did many things “contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth,” and that as he traveled to Damascus he saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, and heard a voice saying to him in the Hebrew language, “Saul, Saul”; when Festus says, “Paul, you are crazy!”, Paul answers, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.” At 26:30–32 the king, the governor and Bernice withdraw and say, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds,” and Agrippa says to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.” 27:1 says, “When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band”; at 27:21–26, “When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them,” and he tells them that an angel stood by him that night, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you”; and at 27:43 the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stops the soldiers from their purpose. At 28:3–8, on Malta, a viper fastens on Paul’s hand, and he shakes it off into the fire and isn’t harmed, and he lays his hands on the father of Publius and heals him; 28:16 says, “When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him”; at 28:17–23 Paul calls together the leaders of the Jews, saying, “because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain,” and testifies about God’s Kingdom from morning until evening; and at 28:30–31 Paul stays two whole years in his own rented house, receives all who come to him, and preaches God’s Kingdom with all boldness, without hindrance. At 2 Corinthians 11:22–33 the writer (“I”) says, “Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I. Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often. Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.” and “In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the Damascenes’ city, desiring to arrest me. I was let down in a basket through a window by the wall, and escaped his hands.” At 12:2–4 he says, “I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago”, and “how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words”; at 12:7–9, “a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan”, and “Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me. He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’” Galatians 1:1 names the writer “Paul, an apostle”, and in 1:13–2:14 the writer (“I”) says that in time past, in the Jews’ religion, he persecuted the assembly of God beyond measure and ravaged it; that “when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace, to reveal his Son in me”, he went away into Arabia and then returned to Damascus; that after three years he went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter and stayed with him fifteen days, and then came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia; that after fourteen years he went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also; and that he resisted Peter to his face when Peter came to Antioch. Philippians 1:1 names Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, as the senders, and 3:4–6 gives the words of the writer (“I”): “though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.” Philemon 1:1 calls Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus; in 1:8–22 he appeals to Philemon for Onesimus and says he will repay.

Matthew 4:18 records him casting a net by the sea of Galilee: Simon, who is called Peter. Mark 3:16 says that when Jesus appointed the twelve he gave Simon the name Peter. Mark 5:37–38 has Jesus let no one follow him to the synagogue ruler’s house except Peter, James and John the brother of James; at 8:29 Peter answers, “You are the Christ,” and at 8:31–33, when Jesus teaches that the Son of Man must suffer many things and says it openly, Peter takes him and begins to rebuke him, and Jesus rebukes Peter: “Get behind me, Satan!” Mark 9:2–6 has Jesus take him, James and John up a high mountain, where, not knowing what to say, he proposes three tents; at 10:28 he says, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you,” and at 11:21 he says that the fig tree Jesus cursed has withered away. Mark 14:29–31 records him insisting that although all will be offended, he will not; 14:66–72 records him denying Jesus three times in the court of the high priest and weeping when the rooster crows the second time and he remembers Jesus’ words; and at 16:7 the young man at the tomb tells the women to go and tell Jesus’ disciples and Peter. Luke 5:3–11 has Jesus teach the multitudes from Simon’s boat and tell Simon to put out into the deep and let down the nets; Simon answers, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net,” and when they catch a great multitude of fish, Simon Peter falls down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord”; Jesus says to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive,” and when they have brought their boats to land, they leave everything and follow Jesus. Luke 6:14 names him, among the twelve whom Jesus chose and named apostles, as Simon, whom he also named Peter; at 8:45, when Jesus asks who touched him and all deny it, Peter and those with him say, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you,” and at 8:51 Jesus, coming to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, allows no one to enter in except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother. At Luke 9:20, when Jesus asks, “But who do you say that I am?”, Peter answers, “The Christ of God”; at 9:28–33 Jesus takes Peter, John and James up onto the mountain to pray, Peter and those who are with him are heavy with sleep, but when they are fully awake they see the glory of Jesus, and Peter proposes three tents, not knowing what he says. At Luke 12:41 Peter asks, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?” Luke 22:8 has Jesus send Peter and John to prepare the Passover; 22:31–34 gives the Lord’s words, “Simon, Simon, … I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail,” and Peter’s answer that he is ready to go with the Lord both to prison and to death; at 22:60–62, when the rooster crows, the Lord turns and looks at Peter, and Peter remembers the Lord’s word, goes out and weeps bitterly; at 24:12 Peter runs to the tomb, sees the strips of linen lying by themselves and departs to his home, wondering what had happened; and at 24:33–34 the eleven and those who are with them say, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” At John 1:40–42 Andrew first finds his own brother, Simon, says to him, “We have found the Messiah!”, and brings him to Jesus, and Jesus looks at him and says, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter); 1:44 calls Bethsaida the city of Andrew and Peter; and the Korean Revised Version reads 요한의 아들 시몬 (Simon the son of John) at 1:42. John 6:8 calls Andrew Simon Peter’s brother; at 6:67–69, when Jesus says to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”, Simon Peter answers him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” where the Korean Revised Version reads 하나님의 거룩하신 자 (the Holy One of God). John 13:5–9 has Jesus, washing the disciples’ feet, come to Simon Peter, who says, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”; when Jesus answers, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later,” Peter says, “You will never wash my feet!”, and when Jesus answers, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me,” Simon Peter says, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”; at 13:23–24, as the disciple whom Jesus loved leans against Jesus’ chest, Simon Peter beckons to him and says to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks”; and at 13:36–38 Simon Peter asks, “Lord, where are you going?”, and Jesus answers, “Where I am going, you can’t follow now, but you will follow afterwards”; when Peter says, “I will lay down my life for you,” Jesus answers, “Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won’t crow until you have denied me three times.” John 18:10–11 has Simon Peter draw a sword, strike the high priest’s servant and cut off the servant’s right ear, and Jesus says to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath”; at 18:15–18, brought into the court of the high priest, Peter says to the maid who keeps the door, “I am not,” and at 18:25–27 he denies it and says, “I am not,” and denies it again, and immediately the rooster crows; at 20:2–10, told by Mary Magdalene, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb,” Simon Peter runs to the tomb with the other disciple, enters into the tomb and sees the linen cloths lying and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head; at 21:1–11, at the sea of Tiberias, Simon Peter says, “I’m going fishing,” throws himself into the sea when he hears that it is the Lord, and draws the net to land; at 21:15–19 Jesus asks him, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” and, the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?”, says to him, “Feed my sheep,” and says to Peter, “Follow me”; and at 21:20–22, when Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved and asks, “Lord, what about this man?”, Jesus says to him, “You follow me.” Acts 1:12–13 names Peter first among those who returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet and went up into the upper room where they were staying; at 1:15–22 Peter stands up in the middle of the disciples and says, “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,” and, “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection”; at 2:14–36, standing up with the eleven, Peter lifts up his voice and says, “This is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel,” and ends, “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified”; at 2:37–41, when those who heard are cut to the heart and say to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”, Peter says to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins,” and there are added that day about three thousand souls; at 3:1–10, going up into the temple with John, Peter says to a man lame from his mother’s womb, laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!” and takes him by the right hand and raises him up; at 3:11–26, when all the people run together in the porch called Solomon’s, Peter says to them, “You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses”; at 4:8–10, filled with the Holy Spirit, he says to the rulers of the people and elders of Israel, “May it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him”; and at 4:19–20 Peter and John answer them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves, for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.” Acts 5:1–10 tells that Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession and kept back part of the price; Peter says, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?”, and Ananias falls down and dies; Peter asks Ananias’ wife, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?”, and she falls down immediately at Peter’s feet and dies. At 5:15 the sick are carried out into the streets and laid on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter comes by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them, and at 5:27–32 Peter and the apostles, set before the council, answer, “We must obey God rather than men.” Acts 8:14–25 says that the apostles who were at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent Peter and John, and that when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands and offered them money, saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit,” Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!”; at 9:32–35 Peter comes down to the saints who live at Lydda and says to Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!”, and immediately Aeneas arises; at 9:36–43, when Tabitha, a disciple at Joppa, has become sick and died, Peter, turning to the body, says, “Tabitha, get up!”, and she opens her eyes and sits up, and Peter stays many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon; at 10:1–16 an angel tells Cornelius to send men to Joppa and get Simon, who is also called Peter, and Peter, gone up on the housetop to pray, falls into a trance, sees a container like a great sheet descending, and hears a voice, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean”; and at 10:17–48 Peter goes with the men sent by Cornelius, comes to Cornelius at Caesarea, says, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism,” and, when the Holy Spirit falls on all those who hear the word while he is still speaking, commands them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Acts 11:2–17 says that when Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him, saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”, and Peter explained to them in order the vision he saw in a trance while praying in the city of Joppa, the three men sent to him from Caesarea, and how these six brothers also accompanied him into the man’s house, and how, as he began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on the people of that house, “even as on us at the beginning,” and said, “who was I, that I could withstand God?”; at 12:3–11 Herod seizes Peter and puts him in prison, an angel of the Lord wakes him and leads him out, and Peter says, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting”; and at 12:12–17 Peter comes to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, a servant girl named Rhoda recognizes his voice, and Peter declares how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, says, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers,” and goes to another place. At Acts 15:6–11, when the apostles and the elders are gathered together and there has been much discussion, Peter rises up and says to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe,” and, “we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.” Galatians 1:18 says that the writer (“I”) went up to Jerusalem after three years to visit Peter (the Korean 게바) and stayed with him fifteen days; 2:7–9 that Peter was entrusted with the Good News for the circumcised, and that James and Cephas and John, reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and the writer the right hand of fellowship; and 2:11–14 that when Peter came to Antioch, he ate with the Gentiles before some people came from James, drew back and separated himself when they came, fearing those who were of the circumcision, and that the writer resisted him to his face. 1 Peter 1:1–2 opens with “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia”. 2 Peter 1:1 names him “Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ”, and 1:16–18 say, “For we didn’t follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’ We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.”

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, 1 Peter, 2 Peter

Named at Nehemiah 11:24: “Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning the people.” Neither edition names the king. The Korean Revised Version reads 왕의 수하에서 백성의 일을 다스렸느니라, under the king’s hand ruled the matters of the people.

Nehemiah

Named at Joel 1:1 as the father of Joel: “The LORD’s word that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.”

Genesis

Role-based record of the Egyptian king confronted by Moses and Aaron from Exodus 5. Personal name, dynasty and identity with the king at Moses’ birth are not asserted.

Exodus, Deuteronomy, 1 Samuel, 2 Kings, Psalms, Romans

Named at 1 Kings 11:18, where Hadad the Edomite and those with him “came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.” At 11:19–20 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife “the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen”, and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh. At 11:22 Pharaoh says to Hadad, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” The text does not say whether this Pharaoh is the father of the daughter of Pharaoh named at 11:1. This collection keeps the two apart and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1 Kings

Role-based record of the king ruling Egypt while Moses was born and grew up. 2:23 says this king died. Identity with the Pharaoh confronted from chapter 5 is not asserted.

Exodus

Named at 1 Kings 3:1: “Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt. He took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into David’s city”, where the Korean Revised Version reads 그 딸, his daughter. 1 Kings 9:16 says, “Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burned it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife”; and 9:24, that Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of David’s city to her house which Solomon had built for her.

1 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 23:29, which says that in the days of Josiah (WEB “In his days”) “Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.” At 23:31–33 Jehoahaz reigns three months in Jerusalem, and Pharaoh Necoh puts him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and puts the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. At 23:34 Pharaoh Necoh makes Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changes his name to Jehoiakim; at 23:35 Jehoiakim exacts the silver and the gold of the people of the land “to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.”

Philemon 1:1–2 addresses him as a beloved fellow worker, with the assembly in his house. In 1:4–7 Paul gives thanks and says the saints have been refreshed through him. In 1:8–22 Paul appeals to him concerning Onesimus and asks him to prepare a guest room.

Philemon

Named at 2 Timothy 2:17–18 with Hymenaeus. 2:16–18 read, “But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness, and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus: men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.”

2 Timothy

Matthew 14:3 names him as Herod’s brother and speaks of “Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.” He shares a name with Philip of the twelve and is not the same person.

Matthew, Mark

Named among the twelve apostles in Matthew 10:3. At John 1:43 Jesus says to Philip, “Follow me”; 1:44 says that Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter; and at 1:45–46 Philip finds Nathanael and tells him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph,” and, when Nathanael asks, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?”, says to him, “Come and see”; these verses do not call him one of the twelve, and this collection takes him to be the Philip whom Matthew 10:3 names among the twelve apostles. At John 6:5–7 Jesus, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude is coming to him, says to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?”, saying this to test Philip, for Jesus himself knew what he would do; and Philip answers him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little.” John 12:20–22 has certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast come to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and ask him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus”; Philip comes and tells Andrew, and in turn Andrew comes with Philip, and they tell Jesus. John 14:8–9 has Philip say to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us,” and Jesus say to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?” Acts 1:12–14 says that Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, having returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, went up into the upper room where they were staying, and that all these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with Jesus’ brothers.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

Named at Acts 6:5 among the seven men the whole multitude chose. At 6:2–6 the twelve say, “select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom,” and the whole multitude chooses Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch, whom they set before the apostles; when they have prayed, they lay their hands on them. Acts 8:4–13 says that, as those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word, Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ, and the multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip; when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women, and Simon, who used to practice sorcery, also believed, was baptized, and continued with Philip; at 8:26–39 an angel of the Lord sends Philip to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, where Philip hears a eunuch of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, reading Isaiah the prophet in his chariot, preaches to him about Jesus, beginning from that Scripture, and baptizes him, and the Spirit of the Lord catches Philip away; and at 8:40 Philip is found at Azotus and preaches the Good News to all the cities until he comes to Caesarea. Acts 21:8–9 says, “On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him,” and that Philip had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

Acts

Named at Luke 3:1 as Herod’s brother and tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis. This collection does not decide whether he is the Philip whom Matthew 14:3 and Mark 6:17 call Herod’s brother.

Luke

Named at Ezra 8:33 as the father of Eleazar: “On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.”

Ezra

Named as the son of Eleazar at Exodus 6:25 and Numbers 25:7 and 25:11. In Numbers 25:7–8 he takes a spear and thrusts through the man of Israel and the Midianite woman, and the plague is stopped; at 25:12–13 the LORD gives him and his offspring his covenant of peace, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood. Numbers 31:6 says Moses sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the war against Midian with the thousand from every tribe, the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand. Joshua 22:13–14 says the children of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest into the land of Gilead, to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, with ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; 22:30–32 says that the words the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke pleased him and the princes well, and that he and the princes returned out of the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. Judges 20:26–28 says that all the children of Israel and all the people came to Bethel, wept and fasted, offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD, and asked the LORD; the text adds, “for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days”.

Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, 1 Chronicles, Ezra, Psalms

Named at 1 Samuel 1:3 as one of the two sons of Eli: when Elkanah goes up to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh, “The two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there.” At 2:34 the LORD’s word that a man of God brings to Eli says, “This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.” 1 Samuel 4:4 says that the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, and that the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God; 4:11 says, “God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain”; and at 4:16–17 he who brought the news answered Eli, “Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured”; 4:19 says that Phinehas’ wife heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, and gave birth; and 4:21 says that she named the child Ichabod.

1 Samuel

Named at Romans 16:1 as “Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreae”. The writer (“I”) commends her: “that you receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.”

Romans

Named at 2 Timothy 1:15: “This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.”

2 Timothy

Matthew 27:2 names him the governor; 27:11–26 records the questioning before him. Mark 15:15 has him release Barabbas to please the multitude and hand Jesus over, when he has flogged him, to be crucified; at 15:44–45 he is surprised that Jesus is already dead and, having found out from the centurion, grants the body to Joseph. Luke 3:1–2 says that the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea. Luke 13:1 has some who were present tell Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Luke 23:4, 23:14–15 and 23:22 have Pilate say again and again that he finds no basis for a charge against this man; at 23:6–12 Pilate learns that Jesus is in Herod’s jurisdiction and sends him to Herod, and Herod and Pilate, who had been enemies, become friends with each other that very day; at 23:24–25 Pilate decrees that what those crying out against Jesus ask for should be done and delivers Jesus up to their will; and at 23:52 Joseph of Arimathaea goes to Pilate and asks for Jesus’ body. John 18:29–38 has Pilate go out to them and ask, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”, then enter again into the Praetorium and ask Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” and “What is truth?”; at 18:38, 19:4 and 19:6 Pilate says again and again that he finds no basis for a charge against Jesus; at 19:12–16 Pilate is seeking to release Jesus, but he sits down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement”, but in Hebrew, “Gabbatha”, says to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”, and delivers Jesus to them to be crucified; at 19:19–22 Pilate writes a title, “JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS,” puts it on the cross, and answers the chief priests of the Jews, “What I have written, I have written”; and at 19:38 Pilate gives Joseph of Arimathaea permission to take away Jesus’ body. At Acts 3:12–13 Peter says to the people, “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him”; and at 4:23–28 those who heard the report lift up their voice to God with one accord and say, “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.” Acts 13:27–28 has Paul say of Jesus in the synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia, “those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.”

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, 1 Timothy

Named at Joshua 10:3 as king of Jarmuth. At 10:3–4 Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sends to him, saying, “Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.” 10:5 counts the king of Jarmuth among the five kings of the Amorites who encamp against Gibeon and make war against it. At 10:16–27 the five kings hide in the cave at Makkedah and are brought out to Joshua, who strikes them, puts them to death, and hangs them on five trees.

Joshua

Named at Esther 9:8 among the ten sons of Haman. 9:6–10 says, “In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men. They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha, the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.” At 9:12–14 the king’s words to Esther the queen include “five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman”, Esther says, “let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows”, and “The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.”

Ecclesiastes

Named at Acts 18:2 as the wife of “a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome.” At 18:18 Paul sails for Syria “together with Priscilla and Aquila,” and at 18:26 Priscilla and Aquila, hearing Apollos speak boldly in the synagogue, take him aside and explain to him the way of God more accurately. Romans 16:3–5 says, “Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles. Greet the assembly that is in their house.”

Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Timothy

Named at Acts 28:7 as the chief man of the island, named Publius, whose lands were in the neighborhood of that place; 28:1 says the island was called Malta. At 28:7 the text says that Publius “received us and courteously entertained us for three days,” and at 28:8 the father of Publius lies sick of fever and dysentery, and Paul enters in to him, prays, and laying his hands on him, heals him.

Acts

Named at 2 Kings 15:19: “Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.” 15:20 says that Menahem exacted the money from Israel, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria: “So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.” The Korean Revised Version reads 15:19 저로 자기를 도와주게 함으로 나라를 자기 손에 굳게 세우고자 하여, that he might help him, to establish the kingdom firmly in his own hand, and names no one at 15:20, where WEB names Menahem.

2 Kings, 1 Chronicles

Named at Judges 7:10 as Gideon’s servant. At 7:9–11 the LORD says to Gideon, “But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp. You will hear what they say; …” Then Gideon goes down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.

A name Genesis 10:6–7 lists as a son of Ham.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Person in Genesis 46:8–27: Puvah.

Genesis, Numbers

Named only in the Korean Revised Version of Acts 20:4, which calls Sopater, among those who accompanied Paul as far as Asia, 베뢰아 사람 부로의 아들 소바더, the son of 부로; the verse names him only to say whose son Sopater is. WEB reads “Sopater of Beroea” and does not name his father, so the English name Pyrrhus is this collection’s label, which neither edition writes.

2 Kings

Named at 2 Kings 18:17 with Tartan and Rabsaris: “The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem.” At 18:18–19, when Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder come out, Rabshakeh says to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?”’”; WEB keeps the king’s words open to the end of 18:25, where the Korean Revised Version closes them at the end of 18:22 and gives 18:23–25 as the speaker’s own words (these verses do not name him), which call the king 내 주 앗수르 왕 (my master the king of Assyria). At 18:26–27 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah ask Rabshakeh to speak in the Syrian language, and Rabshakeh says, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words?” At 18:28 Rabshakeh stands and cries with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.” At 18:37 Eliakim, who came with Shebna and Joah, tells Hezekiah Rabshakeh’s words; among the words Hezekiah’s servants bring to Isaiah at 19:3–4 is, “It may be the LORD your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God”; and at 19:8 Rabshakeh returns and finds the king of Assyria warring against Libnah.

Named at Joshua 2:1 as a prostitute whose name was Rahab: the two men Joshua sends out of Shittim as spies come into her house and sleep there. At 2:3–6 Jericho’s king sends to her, telling her to bring out the men, but she has brought them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax. At 2:9–13 she says to the men, “I know that the LORD has given you the land,” and asks them to swear by the LORD that they will deal kindly with her father’s house and save alive her father, her mother, her brothers, and her sisters; at 2:15–21 she lets them down by a cord through the window, for her house is on the side of the wall, and ties the scarlet line in the window. Joshua 6:17 has Joshua say to the people, “Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent”; at 6:22–25 the young men who were spies bring out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, all that she has and all of her relatives, and set them outside of the camp of Israel, and Joshua saves alive Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she has; she lives in the middle of Israel to this day.

Zechariah

Named at 2 Samuel 8:3 as the father of Hadadezer: “David also struck Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.” 8:11–12 name “the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah” among what King David dedicated to the LORD.

2 Samuel

Named at 1 Kings 11:43: “Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.” 1 Kings 12:1 says that all Israel had come to Shechem to make Rehoboam king; 12:13–14 that the king answered the people roughly, abandoned the counsel of the old men, and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions”; 12:18 that King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor, that all Israel stoned him to death with stones, and that King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem; and 12:21–24 that when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, but the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, telling him to speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people the LORD’s word, “You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the children of Israel. Everyone return to his house”, and that they listened to the LORD’s word, and returned and went their way. 1 Kings 14:21 says, “Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess”; 14:25–27 says that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made, and King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place; and 14:30–31 that there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually, that Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city, and that Abijam his son reigned in his place. 2 Chronicles 10:1–12:16 says Rehoboam answers Israel roughly, faces the division of the kingdom, fortifies Judah’s cities, humbles himself with the princes during Shishak’s invasion, and is buried in David’s city after seventeen years ruling in Jerusalem. Matthew 1:7 names him in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17: “Solomon became the father of Rehoboam.”

They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.” 11:25 says, “He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.” The Korean Revised Version reads 솔로몬의 대적, an adversary to Solomon, at 11:23, names Rezon at 11:24 and 11:25, and has Rezon go to Damascus and become king there (다메섹으로 가서 웅거하고 거기서 왕이 되었더라).

Judges 13:24 names him: “The woman bore a son and named him Samson.” At 13:24–25 the child grows, the LORD blesses him, and the LORD’s Spirit begins to move him in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. In chapter 14 he tells his father and his mother to get him as his wife a woman he saw in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines; the LORD’s Spirit comes mightily on him and he tears a young lion; and at the feast he tells his thirty companions a riddle: “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” He goes down to Ashkelon and strikes thirty men of them. In chapter 15 he burns the standing grain of the Philistines with three hundred foxes and torches; he lives in the cave in Etam’s rock, and three thousand men of Judah bind him; at Lehi he strikes a thousand men with a fresh jawbone of a donkey; and when he is very thirsty, God splits the hollow place that is in Lehi, and he drinks and revives. 15:20 says he judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines. At 16:1–3 he carries the doors of the gate of Gaza, with the two posts, bar and all, up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron. At 16:4–21 he loves Delilah, a woman in the valley of Sorek, and tells her all his heart: “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb.” The seven locks of his head are shaved off and his strength goes from him, and the Philistines put out his eyes and bring him down to Gaza, and he grinds at the mill in the prison. At 16:23–30 the lords of the Philistines gather to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and Samson is called out of the prison and set between the pillars; he takes hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rests and says, “Let me die with the Philistines!” He bows himself with all his might, and the house falls; the dead that he killed at his death were more than those who he killed in his life. At 16:31 his brothers and all the house of his father bury him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burial site of Manoah his father, and the verse says he judged Israel twenty years.

Judges, Hebrews

At 1 Samuel 1:19–20 Elkanah knows Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembers her; when the time had come, Hannah conceives, and bears a son; and she names him Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.” At 1:24–28, when she has weaned him, she brings him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh and says to Eli, “Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he is given to the LORD.” At 2:18 Samuel ministers before the LORD, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod, and at 2:26 the child Samuel grows on, and increases in favor both with the LORD and also with men. At 3:1–14 the LORD calls Samuel, who had laid down in the LORD’s temple, and speaks to him concerning the house of Eli; at 3:19–21 Samuel grows, and the LORD is with him and lets none of his words fall to the ground, all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knows that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD, and the LORD reveals himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word. 1 Samuel 4:1 says, “The word of Samuel came to all Israel”; at 7:3–6 Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only,” and said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you,” and he judged the children of Israel in Mizpah; at 7:9–12 Samuel took a suckling lamb, offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD and cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him, and Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer; and 7:15–17 says that Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life, that he went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places, and that his return was to Ramah, for his house was there. 1 Samuel 8:1–5 says that when Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel, and that all the elders of Israel came to Samuel to Ramah and said, “Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations”; 8:22, that the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king”; 10:1, that Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on Saul’s head; and 10:17–25, that Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah, that Saul the son of Kish was chosen, and that Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. 1 Samuel 11:14 has Samuel say to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there”; at 12:1–25 he tells all Israel to witness against him before the LORD and before his anointed, pleads with them concerning the righteous acts of the LORD, and calls to the LORD, and the LORD sends thunder and rain that day; and at 13:8–15, when Saul has waited seven days and offered the burnt offering, Samuel comes and says to Saul, “You have done foolishly,” and goes from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. At 1 Samuel 15:1–3 Samuel says to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the LORD’s words,” and tells him what the LORD of Armies says of Amalek; at 15:10–11 the LORD’s word comes to Samuel, and Samuel is angry and cries to the LORD all night; at 15:22 Samuel says, “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams”; at 15:32–33 Samuel has Agag the king of the Amalekites brought to him and cuts Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal; and at 15:34–35 Samuel goes to Ramah, and comes no more to see Saul until the day of his death, but mourns for Saul. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 has the LORD say to Samuel, “Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons”; Samuel does that which the LORD spoke and comes to Bethlehem, and when seven of Jesse’s sons have passed before him and the youngest is brought in, Samuel takes the horn of oil and anoints him in the middle of his brothers, and rises up and goes to Ramah. 1 Samuel 19:18 says that David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him, and that he and Samuel went and lived in Naioth; at 19:20 Saul’s messengers see the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them; and at 19:24 Saul prophesies before Samuel and lies down naked all that day and all that night. 1 Samuel 25:1 says that Samuel died, and all Israel gathered themselves together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house at Ramah. 1 Samuel 28:3 says, “Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city”; at 28:7–14 Saul says to a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor, “Bring Samuel up for me,” the woman sees Samuel and cries with a loud voice, and Saul perceives that it was Samuel and bows with his face to the ground; and at 28:15–19 Samuel says to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” and “The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, even to David.” At Acts 3:24 Peter says to the people in the porch called Solomon’s, “Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, also told of these days.” Acts 13:19–20 has Paul say in the synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia that when God had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave the people their land for an inheritance, and “after these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.”

Named at Nehemiah 2:10 as the Horonite: “When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.” At 2:19, when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian heard it, “they ridiculed us and despised us, and said, ‘What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?’”; and at 2:20 the speaker (“I”) answers them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.” Nehemiah 4:1–2 says, “But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, and mocked the Jews”, and that he spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria words that begin, “What are these feeble Jews doing?”; 4:7–8, “But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry; and they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion among us”; 6:2, “Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, ‘Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.’”; 6:5, “Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand”; and 6:10–12 says of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, “I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.”

Peter answers her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much,” and she says, “Yes, for so much.” When Peter asks her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?”, she falls down immediately at his feet and dies, and the young men bury her by her husband.

Named at 1 Samuel 9:1–2 as the son of Kish, a man of Benjamin: “He had a son whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.” 10:1 says, “Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, ‘Hasn’t the LORD anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?’” At 10:20–21 Samuel brings all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin is chosen; he brings the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites is chosen; then Saul the son of Kish is chosen. 1 Samuel 11:4–11 says Saul came following the oxen out of the field, and when he heard the words of the men of Jabesh, God’s Spirit came mightily on him; he cut a yoke of oxen in pieces and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel, counted in Bezek the people who came out, and put them in three companies against the Ammonites; at 11:15 all the people make Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; at 13:1 WEB reads “Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years,” where the Korean Revised Version reads 사울이 왕이 될 때에 사십세라 그가 이스라엘을 다스린지 이년에; and at 13:8–14 Saul offers the burnt offering at Gilgal, and Samuel says to him, “But now your kingdom will not continue.” 1 Samuel 14:24–45 says that Saul adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies,” and that when Jonathan was selected and told him that he had tasted a little honey with the end of the rod, Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan,” but the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die; 14:35, that Saul built an altar to the LORD, the first altar that he built to the LORD; 14:47–48, that when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel he fought against all his enemies on every side, and did valiantly and struck the Amalekites; 15:7–9, that Saul struck the Amalekites and took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, but Saul and the people spared Agag and the best; and at 15:26 Samuel says to Saul, “I will not return with you; for you have rejected the LORD’s word, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel.” 1 Samuel 16:14 says that the LORD’s Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him; at 16:19–23 Saul sends messengers to Jesse, and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep,” and when the spirit from God is on Saul, David takes the harp and plays with his hand, so that Saul is refreshed and is well; at 17:11 Saul and all Israel hear the words of the Philistine and are dismayed and greatly afraid; and at 17:37–38 Saul says to David, “Go! The LORD will be with you,” and dresses David with his clothing. 1 Samuel 18:6–9 says that when the women sang, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands,” Saul was very angry and watched David from that day and forward; at 18:10–11 and 19:9–10 Saul throws the spear and seeks to pin David to the wall, and David escapes; at 18:17–27 Saul says he will give David his elder daughter Merab as wife, but she is given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife, and Saul has David told, “The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies,” and then gives David Michal his daughter as wife; at 18:29 Saul is even more afraid of David, and is David’s enemy continually; at 19:11 Saul sends messengers to David’s house to watch him and to kill him in the morning; at 19:23–24 Saul goes there to Naioth in Ramah, and God’s Spirit comes on him also, and he goes on, and prophesies, until he comes to Naioth in Ramah, and he also strips off his clothes, prophesies before Samuel and lies down naked all that day and all that night; and at 20:30–33 Saul’s anger burns against Jonathan, and Saul casts his spear at him to strike him. 1 Samuel 22:6–19 says that Doeg the Edomite answered Saul, who was sitting in Gibeah, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub”, and that the king sent to call Ahimelech and the priests who were in Nob and said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!”, and Doeg killed eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod; 24:1–22 says that when Saul went to seek David and went into a cave to relieve himself, David cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly, and Saul said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.” 1 Samuel 25:44 says that Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim; 26:1–25, that after the Ziphites came to him to Gibeah, Saul went down to the wilderness of Ziph with three thousand chosen men of Israel and encamped in the hill of Hachilah, that David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head while Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, and that Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David”, and returned to his place; and 27:4, that Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him. 1 Samuel 28:4–6 says that when the Philistines encamped in Shunem, Saul gathered all Israel together and they encamped in Gilboa, and that when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets; at 28:7–25 Saul disguises himself and goes to a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor, says, “Bring Samuel up for me,” and is terrified because of Samuel’s words; at 31:1–6 the battle goes hard against Saul, he is greatly distressed by reason of the archers, and he takes his sword and falls on it, and dies with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men that same day together; and at 31:8–13 the Philistines cut off his head and fasten his body to the wall of Beth Shan, and when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead hear of it, all the valiant men take the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, burn them at Jabesh, and bury their bones under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh. 2 Samuel 1:2–10 has the man who came out of the camp from Saul tell David, “Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also”, and the young man who told David say that on Mount Gilboa Saul was leaning on his spear and called to the young man, saying, “Please stand beside me, and kill me”, and that the young man stood beside him and killed him and took the crown that was on Saul’s head and the bracelet that was on his arm; and at 1:17–27 David laments with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son, saying, “You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.” 2 Samuel 21:1–2 says that there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year, and that when David sought the face of the LORD, the LORD said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death”; and that Saul sought to kill the Gibeonites in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah; at 21:8–9 the king takes the two sons of Rizpah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and delivers them into the hands of the Gibeonites, who hang them on the mountain before the LORD; and at 21:12–14 David takes the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, and the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son are buried in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. 1 Chronicles 10:13–14 says, “So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire, and didn’t inquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.” The Korean Revised Version names the LORD at 10:14 (여호와께서 저를 죽이시고), where WEB has “he”. Named at Acts 13:21–22, in Paul’s words in the synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia: “Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king.” He is not the same person as Paul, who speaks these words.

Luke

Named at 2 Kings 18:13 as king of Assyria: “Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.” At 18:14–16 Hezekiah king of Judah sends to the king of Assyria at Lachish, and the king of Assyria appoints to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold; at 18:17 the king of Assyria sends Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem; and at 19:8 Rabshakeh finds the king of Assyria warring against Libnah. At 19:9–13 the king of Assyria (WEB “he”) hears it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” and sends messengers again to Hezekiah. Hezekiah’s prayer asks at 19:16, “Hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to defy the living God”, and at 19:20 Isaiah the son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah the LORD’s word, “You have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, and I have heard you.” 19:36–37 says, “So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went home, and lived at Nineveh. As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.”

The Korean Revised Version gives the same line by generations, and calls Ezra 스라야의 아들이요, the son of Seraiah. This collection keeps him apart from Seraiah the chief priest of 2 Kings 25:18, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

1 Chronicles, Ezra

Named at Nehemiah 11:10–11 among the priests: “Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin, Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of God’s house, and their brothers who did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty-two” (11:10–12). The Korean Revised Version sets 하나님의 전을 맡은 자 (who had charge of God’s house) before Seraiah’s name and counts the generations (저는 힐기야의 아들이요 므술람의 손자요 …, he is the son of Hilkiah, the grandson of Meshullam …).

Nehemiah

Named at Jeremiah 51:59: “The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief quartermaster.” At 51:61–64 Jeremiah says to him, “When you come to Babylon, then see that you read all these words,” and tells him, when he has finished reading the book, to bind a stone to it, cast it into the middle of the Euphrates, and say, “Thus will Babylon sink, and will not rise again because of the evil that I will bring on her; and they will be weary.” The text does not say that Seraiah did so. The Korean Revised Version reads 마세야의 손자 네리야의 아들 스라야 (Seraiah the son of Neriah, the grandson of Mahseiah) and 시종장 (chief of the attendants).

Jeremiah

Named at 2 Kings 25:23 among the captains of the forces who come to Gedaliah to Mizpah: “Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite”. In neither edition does the verse say whether “the Netophathite” (the Korean 느도바 사람) is Tanhumeth or Seraiah.

2 Kings, Jeremiah

Named at 2 Kings 25:18: “The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold”.

At 2:13–14 the young woman goes in to the king, and “In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women’s house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, who kept the concubines.” The Korean Revised Version reads 아침에는 (in the morning) where WEB reads “on the next day”, and 비빈을 주관하는 내시 (the eunuch who kept the concubines).

Esther

Named at Nehemiah 11:16 with Jozabad: “and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outward business of God’s house”.

Nehemiah

Named at Ezra 10:15 as the Levite. The verse says, “Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.”

Ezra

Named at 1 Chronicles 8:8: “Shaharaim became the father of children in the field of Moab, after he had sent them away. Hushim and Baara were his wives.” 8:9–11 go on, “By Hodesh his wife, he became the father of Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of fathers’ households. By Hushim, he became the father of Abitub and Elpaal.” The Korean Revised Version names the two wives in the sending away (사하라임은 두 아내 후심과 바아라를 내어보낸 후에, after Shaharaim had sent away his two wives Hushim and Baara) and reads 모압 땅, the land of Moab.

1 Chronicles

Named at Nehemiah 3:12 as the son of Hallohesh: “Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, he and his daughters made repairs.”

Nehemiah

Named at 2 Kings 15:10. 15:8–10 says that Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months, and that “Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.” 15:13 says, “Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for a month in Samaria.” At 15:14 Menahem the son of Gadi goes up from Tirzah, comes to Samaria, strikes Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, kills him, and reigns in his place; 15:15 speaks of the rest of the acts of Shallum, “and his conspiracy which he made”.

2 Kings

Named at 1 Chronicles 9:17 among “The gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brothers”, and, in WEB’s parentheses, “Shallum was the chief”. 9:19 says, “Shallum was the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent.” 9:31 names “Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite”. The Korean Revised Version reads 9:17 살룸은 그 두목이라 (Shallum was the chief) without parentheses, and at 9:19 has Shallum with his brothers, the sons of Korah, over the work of the service, keeping the doors of the tabernacle (고레의 아들 살룸과 그 종족 형제 곧 고라의 자손이 수종드는 일을 맡아 성막 문들을 지켰으니).

1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Kings 22:14, which calls Huldah the prophetess “the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe”. The Korean Revised Version reads 할하스의 손자 디과의 아들 예복을 주관하는 살룸의 아내 (the wife of Shallum who kept the wardrobe, the son of Tikvah, the grandson of Harhas), making Shallum the keeper of the wardrobe, where WEB sets “keeper of the wardrobe” after the name of Harhas.

2 Kings

2 Chronicles 34:22 names Shallum son of Tokhath and grandson of Hasrah as Huldah’s husband; WEB places “keeper of the wardrobe” after Hasrah’s name.

2 Chronicles

Named at Ezra 7:2 in Ezra’s line, which WEB gives as “Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest” (7:1–5). The Korean Revised Version gives the same line by generations, and calls Ezra 살룸의 현손이요, the great-great-grandson of Shallum.

1 Chronicles, Ezra

Named at Nehemiah 3:15 as the son of Colhozeh: “Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah, repaired the spring gate. He built it, covered it, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars; and he repaired the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king’s garden, even to the stairs that go down from David’s city.”

Nehemiah

Named at 2 Kings 17:3 as king of Assyria: Shalmaneser king of Assyria comes up against Hoshea, “and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.” 17:4 says, “The king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria seized him, and bound him in prison.” 17:5–6 say, “Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.” The Korean Revised Version names Hoshea at 17:3, where WEB reads “him”, tells at 17:4 what Hoshea did before the king of Assyria saw his betrayal, and names no one at 17:5.

2 Kings

Named at Judges 3:31: “After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.” The Korean Revised Version says here that Shamgar was a judge (사사로 있어); WEB does not call him a judge. At 5:6 the song says, “In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.”

Judges

Named at 1 Chronicles 27:8 as the fifth captain, for the fifth month: “The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite. In his division were twenty-four thousand.”

1 Chronicles

At 23:11–12, when the Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils and the people fled from the Philistines, he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the LORD worked a great victory. This collection keeps him apart from Shammah the Hararite of 23:33 and does not decide whether they are the same man.

2 Samuel

Named at 1 Samuel 16:9: “Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, ‘The LORD has not chosen this one, either.’” The Korean Revised Version names Samuel as the one who says it. 17:12–13 name him among the three oldest sons of Jesse, who went after Saul to the battle: “the third Shammah.”

1 Samuel

Person in Genesis 36:11–19: Shammah.

Genesis, 1 Chronicles

Named at 2 Samuel 23:33 as “Shammah the Hararite”. The name stands among those that 23:24–39 opens with “Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty” and closes with “thirty-seven in all”. This collection keeps him apart from the Shammah the Hararite of 23:11 and does not decide whether they are the same man.

2 Samuel

Named at 2 Samuel 23:25 as “Shammah the Harodite”. The name stands among those that 23:24–39 opens with “Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty” and closes with “thirty-seven in all”. The Korean Revised Version names him 삼훗.

2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

Named at Nehemiah 11:17 as the father of Abda: “and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.” The Korean Revised Version names the generations from Jeduthun down (여두둔의 증손 갈랄의 손자 삼무아의 아들 압다, Abda the son of Shammua, the grandson of Galal, the great-grandson of Jeduthun).

Numbers

Named at 2 Kings 22:12 as the father of Ahikam, one of those whom the king commands: “Ahikam the son of Shaphan”. The same verse names “Shaphan the scribe” among them apart from him, and the text does not say whether Ahikam’s father Shaphan is that Shaphan the scribe. This collection keeps him apart from Shaphan the scribe, and does not decide whether they are the same man.

2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Jeremiah

Named at Ezekiel 8:11 as the father of Jaazaniah. In what the speaker (“I”) saw, 8:11 names “Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan”, standing in the middle of seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel.

Ezekiel

Named at 2 Kings 22:3: “In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the LORD’s house”. At 22:8 Hilkiah the high priest says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house”, and delivers the book to Shaphan, and he reads it; at 22:9–10 Shaphan the scribe comes to the king, and brings the king word again, tells the king, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me”, and reads it before the king. At 22:12 “Shaphan the scribe” is among those whom the king commands to inquire of the LORD, and 22:14 says, “So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess”. The same verse 22:12 names “Ahikam the son of Shaphan”, and the text does not say whether Ahikam’s father Shaphan is this Shaphan the scribe. The Korean Revised Version reads 므술람의 손자 아살리야의 아들 서기관 사반 (Shaphan the scribe, the son of Azaliah, the grandson of Meshullam) at 22:3, and gives 22:10 no subject.

2 Kings, 2 Chronicles

Named at 1 Kings 19:16 as the father of Elisha, where the LORD says, “anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.” 19:19 again names “Elisha the son of Shaphat”. Neither edition says whether Abel Meholah is Shaphat’s place or Elisha’s.

1 Kings, 2 Kings

Named at 1 Chronicles 27:29 among those over the king’s property: “Over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai”. 27:31 closes, “All these were the rulers of the property which was King David’s.”

Zechariah

Named at 2 Kings 19:37 with Adrammelech. 19:36–37 says, “So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went home, and lived at Nineveh. As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.” Neither edition calls him a son of Sennacherib at 2 Kings 19:37; Isaiah 37:38 says, “Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons”.

Named in the genealogy of Matthew 1:1–17: Shealtiel. Luke 3:27 has Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, while Matthew 1:12 says that Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel; this collection records both and does not decide between them.

1 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Matthew, Luke

Named at Isaiah 7:3 as the son of Isaiah, in the LORD’s words to Isaiah: “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shearjashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field.” The text does not say that they went out.

Isaiah

Named at 2 Samuel 20:1: “There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, ‘We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!’” At 20:2 all the men of Israel go up from following David, and follow Sheba the son of Bichri. At 20:6 David says to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.” At 20:15 WEB says, “They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah”, where the Korean Revised Version names Sheba. At 20:20–21 Joab answers a wise woman of that city, “But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” At 20:22 they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and throw it out to Joab.

WEB spells the name Shebnah at 18:18 and 18:26 and Shebna at 18:37 and 19:2; the Korean Revised Version writes 셉나 each time.

You will be pulled down from your station.”

1 Chronicles

Named at Nehemiah 3:29 as the father of Shemaiah: “Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate, made repairs.” The Korean Revised Version places 동문지기 (the keeper of the east gate) before Shecaniah’s name; neither edition says whose office it is.

Nehemiah

Named at Nehemiah 6:18 as the son of Arah. 6:17–18 says that the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, “For there were many in Judah sworn to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah”.

Nehemiah

Named at Ezra 10:2 as the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam. At 10:1–2, while Ezra prays and makes confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, a very great assembly is gathered together to him out of Israel, and “Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra”. His words at 10:2–4 are, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law. Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”

Ezra

Numbers 26:30–31 names him among the sons of Gilead; the family of the Shechemites came from him. He shares a name with the Shechem of Genesis and is not the same. Joshua 17:2 gives the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families as the children of Abiezer, of Helek, of Asriel, of Shechem, of Hepher and of Shemida, and calls them “the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.”

They dedicated some of the plunder won in battles to repair the LORD’s house. All that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomoth and of his brothers.” The Korean Revised Version reads 26:25 그 형제 곧 엘리에셀에게서 난 자는 그 아들 르하뱌와 … 그 아들 슬로못이라 (his brothers, those born of Eliezer: Rehabiah his son … Shelomoth his son).

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah (29:30–32): “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘The LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,” therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. …”’” The Korean Revised Version reads 스마야에게 at 29:24 (to Shemaiah).
